TOPSHOTS-AFGHANISTAN-US-UNREST
US Marines with 1/3 Marines Charlie Company battle insurgents on the outskirts of Marjah on February 9, 2010, after seizing a major junction in the northeast of the city. US Marines have stepped up preparations for a major assault on a key Taliban bastion in southern Afghanistan hailed by officers as the biggest offensive of the eight-year war. Thousands of Afghan, US and NATO forces are expected to launch Operation Mushtarak (Together) in a bid to clear the Taliban out of Marjah, home to some 80,000 people, and expand the control of the Western-backed Afghan government.
