AFGHANISTAN-BRITAIN-US-UNREST
In this handout photograph released by The Ministry of Defence (MOD), the three senior officers, Brigadier James Cowan, (C), Commander 11 Light Brigade (UK), Brigadier General Moyaiyodin Ghori Commanding Officer 3rd Brigade Afghan National Army (L) and Colonel Shirin Shah Afghan National Civil Order Police, involved in commanding Operation Moshtarak address the gathered Military force and the assembled Media at Camp Bastion in Helmand Province on February 12, 2010, in which a combined force of 15,000 troops are launching major assaults on Taliban strongholds. A massive assault force taking on the Taliban in southern Afghanistan claimed its first kills within hours of launching the biggest operation since US President Barack Obama ordered a troop surge, an Afghan army commander said on February 13, 2020. Five militants were killed soon after US-led troops helicoptered into Marjah in the poppy-growing belt of Helmand province, said Sher Mohammad Zazai, commander of the Afghan Army's 205 Corps.
