| U.S. Soldiers Find Afghan Rocket Site |
| 2002-12-27 |
| U.S. soldiers detained nine men after locating a site apparently used for rocket attacks on American bases in eastern Afghanistan, the U.S. command at Bagram Air Base said Friday. Soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division made the discovery while on patrol near Khost, a city near the Pakistan border, the military said in a statement. The statement did not say when the arrests took place. Rockets - usually crude, Chinese-made weapons - have been fired at a several small U.S. bases in the area, usually without doing much damage. "The patrol pursued and detained four individuals, two of whom were armed," the statement said. "In a follow-up search operation, five more suspects were detained, and weapons and munitions were confiscated." Fell into a pattern of attacks and got caught. Enjoy your vacation in sunny Gitmo, guys. |

| #1 And maybe airborne is learning not to telegraph its moves by taking two days to ramp up for an assault. Nice to see a bunch of terrs get caught. |
