BREAKING: U.S. AND NATO TO INCREASE TROOPS TO 150,000 IN AFGHANISTAN


U.S and NATO to increase troops to 150,000 in Afghanistan

Three soldiers, one civilian killed in Afghanistan

KABUL - Three foreign soldiers and one civilian working with NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) were killed in two separate incidents in southern Afghanistan Saturday, the alliance said.


Meanwhile, The United States and its NATO allies are increasing to 150,000 their military deployment in Afghanistan, about two-thirds of which is American.


The United States believes the “surge” of troops can wrest the initiative from the Taliban in key population centres and allow foreign forces to start withdrawing from the unpopular and costly conflict next year.

“Two ISAF service members and a civilian working with ISAF died following an insurgent attack in southern Afghanistan today,” ISAF said, without disclosing the soldiers’ nationality, in keeping with NATO policy.

“In a separate incident, also in southern Afghanistan, another ISAF service member died following an improvised explosive device (IED) attack,” the statement, said referring to the Taliban insurgents’ weapon of choice.


The latest casualty brings the number of foreign soldiers killed in Afghanistan this year to 215, according to an AFP tally based on the icasualties.org website.

In 2009, the deadliest year since the United States led an invasion that overthrew the Taliban regime in late 2001, 520 foreign soldiers were killed.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Reuters) – Taliban militants launched a rocket and ground attack on Kandahar airfield in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, the alliance said, days after an assault on another major base in the country.

Five rockets were fired at the massive base in the Taliban's spiritual capital where NATO forces are preparing a series of offensives to wrest control of the province.


"Kandahar airfield came under indirect fire at approximately 8 p.m. local time tonight. An undetermined number of rockets have been fired at the base," a statement from NATO forces based in Kandahar said.

A number of NATO personnel and civilian workers were wounded and no insurgents managed to enter the base, the statement said.

An intelligence source on the base said it had been hit by three rockets. One struck a helicopter terminal used by foreign troops, wounding four foreigners, one hit a shopping area and another failed to hit any significant target.

The source said the Taliban came close to the airfield and fired rockets. Helicopters hit back at them with gunfire.

People on the sprawling base were ordered to take shelter in bunkers, and a loudspeaker announcement warned of a ground attack, a journalist there said.

Lucian Read said there were reports that one of the rockets may have hit a volleyball court in the center of the main shopping area of the base known as the boardwalk and that one of the insurgents was a suicide bomber.

The attack came days after an assault on one of the coalition's biggest bases in Bagram, north of the Afghan capital, in which an American contractor was killed and nine U.S. troops wounded.

BREAKING NEWS: NEW TALIBAN ATTACK ON U.S. BASE


Insurgents attack Afghanistan base

KANDAHAR AIR FIELD, Afghanistan - Coalition forces repelled an insurgent attack on this airfield on Saturday evening that wounded a small number of personnel, a Coalition spokeswoman said.

The attack began at about 8 p.m. local time when insurgents launched a barrage of five rockets at the air field, said Navy Cmdr. Amanda Peterseim, spokeswoman for Regional Command-South, which is headquartered at the air field.

One of those rockets hit near the boardwalk, the collection of stores and coffee shops which forms the social hub at the air field, and is often crowded in the evenings. That rocket wounded "a few" personnel, but did not kill any, Peterseim said.

"Shortly after [the rockets landed] we started hearing the announcement that we were under ground attack," Peterseim said. That ground attack involved "just a few insurgents" attacking a guard tower on the airfield’s north side and was "repelled" with no casualties on the Coalition side, she said. "There's been no breach of the perimeter," she said.
Peterseim said she did not know the status of the insurgents who attacked the base.
