This is supposedly from the wires, but couldn't find it via google. So, I linked to my local newspaper's website. Mods feel free to move to WoT Background if needed, as this is a summary of Our/NATO's "activities" since 9/1/2006. May I add that I love the name "Operation Medusa" too!
BAGRAM, Afghanistan - Almost 2,100 militants have been killed in Afghanistan since Sept. 1 in operations involving coalition special forces soldiers, a U.S. Army spokesman said.
That means more than half of the country's insurgency-related deaths this year have come in the last three months. About 900 of the 2,077 deaths came during Operation Medusa, a major offensive in September in the province of Kandahar. |
