TOPSHOTS-AFGHANISTAN-US-UNREST
A US Marine with 1/3 Marines Alpha company cleans his weapon at a company operation base (COB) in Toor Ghar in Helmand province on February 8, 2010. The commander of foreign forces in Afghanistan said a major offensive will send a "strong signal" and clear insurgents from their southern stronghold, as residents fled ahead of the assault. A huge force of US Marines leading NATO and Afghan soldiers is expected to launch the offensive -- said by commanders to be the largest assault against Taliban-led militants since the war began -- in Helmand province within days.
