AFGHANISTAN-US-UNREST
Phosophore artillery shells, used to cover the retreat of marines under sniper fire, explode as a US marine patrols in the North East of the Marjah on February 10, 2010. 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.
