AFGHANISTAN-US-UNREST
US marine 2nd MEB commanding general Larry Nicholson (C) flanked by 1/3 Marine Charlie Company commanding officer, Cpt Stephen Karabin (R) and Afghan army Brigadier General Mohiadin Ghor (2nd L), pay a visit to the newly-built Company Operation Base (COB) in the northeast of Marjah on February 14, 2010. NATO commanders said the start of a major US-led offensive against a key Taliban stronghold in southern Afghanistan had been a success as the operation entered its second day February 14. US Marines led the charge on Marjah, a town of 80,000 in the central Helmand River valley controlled for years by militants and drug traffickers in the first major test of President Barack Obama's new surge policy.
