UPDATE: Rocket Attacks Launched on U.S. Bases in Afghanistan
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service - WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2002
– Opposition groups launched two
hit-and-run rocket attacks against U.S. forward operating
bases in Khowst and Gardez today.
Pentagon officials said there were no casualties in either
of the attacks.
In the first incident, opposition groups launched two
rockets at the U.S. forward operating base near Khowst at
about 4 a.m. Soldiers of the Combined Task Force-82
observed the rounds, which impacted several kilometers
away.
In the second incident, three rockets were fired at a U.S.
Special Forces base near Gardez between midnight and 1 a.m.
The rounds impacted about a kilometer short of the
airfield. U.S. soldiers alerted A-10 Thunderbolt II attack
aircraft at Bagram air base. The jets arrived but observed
no activity at the presumed launching site.
An 82nd Airborne Division unit patrolling near Khowst also
found three rockets set up to fire at the American base.
The soldiers destroyed the weapons in place.
For the last week, Combined Task Force–82 troopers have
been conducting cordon and search operations as part of
Alamo Sweep. Officials said the troops have confiscated
weapons and ammunition and took one suspicious person to a
forward operating base for questioning.
U.S. medical personnel have also been busy. American medics
of CTF-82 and Task Force 44 have treated more than 1,400
Afghans for medical and dental problems. More than half the
Afghans treated were children, officials said.

Don't let the libs get hold of that photo of one of our soldiers "patting down" an Afghan child! I can just imagine the caption now, "American soldiers brutalize Afghani children!" It's obvious by all the smiles on the other children's faces that they're playing and having a good time at that!
Wipe out terrorism!

By the way, I wonder where Steve Harrigan is (war correspondent Fox News). He seems to have disappeared. Perhaps he is with a group somewhere...hmmmm.
What the hell is that? That's sick. Is that a dog? Nice 'game'. I'll bet you this wasn't illegal under the Taliban, like flying kites, playing instruments or anything cheerful. Sick bastards.
ROTFLMAO...
AMEN TO THAT!
