They said five men of the US Special Forces were wounded in the fighting in the Uzbeen Valley, a Taliban stronghold where 10 French soldiers were killed in an ambush in August 2008. The operation, codenamed “Septentrion”, was aimed at “reaffirming the sovereignty of Afghan security forces in the north of the Uzbeen Valley,” said French Foreign Legion’s Colonel Benoit Durieux. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato To subscribe, send an e-mail to: stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato/messages http://lists.topica.com/lists/ANTINATO/read ==============================
