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

By Sean D. Naylor - Staff writerPosted : Saturday May 22, 2010 15:23:33 EDT

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.

BREAKING NEWS: TALIBAN FLEXING MUSCLES IN AFGHANISTAN

Taliban flexing muscles in Afghanistan

Los Angeles Times

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan — With back-to-back strikes at symbols of U.S. power in Afghanistan, the Taliban movement appears determined to build prestige in advance of an expected confrontation on its home turf of Kandahar province.

Two high-profile attacks within 24 hours — a rare frontal assault Wednesday on sprawling U.S.-run Bagram Air Base, and a suicide strike a day earlier on one of the U.S. military convoys that traverse the capital, Kabul — appeared calculated to demonstrate the insurgents' ability to strike at will beyond their traditional bastions in the country's south and east.

The Taliban also may be seeking to telegraph resiliency in the face of a concerted U.S.-led campaign in recent months to capture and kill mid-level insurgent field commanders. The rebels also may be hoping to further erode public confidence in beleaguered President Hamid Karzai as he prepares to convene a large-scale jirga, or tribal-consultative meeting, at month's end.
The insurgents "are always trying to make a point," said Col. Wayne Shanks, spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force.

Taken together, the strikes in Bagram and Kabul seemed intended to show "alarm and confusion" at a politically and militarily sensitive juncture, he said.
The attack on Bagram, a heavily fortified enclave an hour's drive from the capital, began early Wednesday. A squad of attackers, some in suicide vests and some clad in uniforms resembling those used by foreign forces, struck the base with rockets, grenades and small-arms fire, military officials and local police said.

A full-on assault against such a large, well-protected installation had almost no chance of success. But in the eyes of some, the insurgents likely reaped propaganda points for trying because Bagram carries heavy symbolic value.
The base is the seat of the U.S. military in Afghanistan and houses a jail that, for the insurgents, is a hated symbol of U.S. detention practices. While the insurgents did not penetrate the perimeter defenses, they managed to bloody the defenders: Nine troops were wounded and a U.S. contractor was killed.
Although Taliban losses were far heavier — about a dozen dead, according to NATO — the attack showed the insurgency's willingness to expend fighters on what was essentially a suicidal mission.

Afghan police and military officials described battles that went on for hours as coalition forces hunted down the attackers in farm fields surrounding the base.

The base was on a state of heightened alert for much of the day, with parts of the installation cleared of personnel and military flights in and out of the airfield employing defensive measures, such as use of flares.

While Wednesday's assault at Bagram would have required careful planning, the suicide bombing of a convoy a day earlier was a swiftly seized opportunity.

It would have been difficult for a bomber to track and target the motorcade of armored SUVs. Such convoys are often used to ferry VIPs around the city.
The identities of the five Americans killed in the blast were not released, but it is possible that at least one of the victims was a high-ranking officer.
Canadian officials said a colonel also slain in the attack was their highest-ranking officer killed to date in Afghanistan.

Attacks like the Tuesday strike, which killed 12 Afghans, tend to fan resentment of foreign forces, even when Taliban fighters are the ones killing noncombatants.

Many Afghans feel endangered by the presence of Western troops on crowded urban roadways because the foreign forces are a magnet for insurgent attacks and bystanders usually take the brunt.

U.S. CASUALTIES HIT 1,000 IN AFGHANISTAN WITH MASSIVE TALIBAN SUICIDE BOMBING

U.S. casualties in Afghanistan hit 1,000 with massive Taliban suicide bombing in Kabul

Seven U.S. troops were killed in Afghanistan on Tuesday - five in a massive Taliban suicide bombing in Kabul that filled the streets of the capital with blood.

The attack brought the U.S. toll to a grim new milestone - 1,000 American soldiers dead in Afghanistan since the war began in 2001, the independent Web site icasualties.org. reported.

A 42-year-old Canadian colonel also died in the morning rush-hour blast, along with at least a dozen Afghans.

"I saw one person lying on the ground with no head," said Mirza Mohammad, who was on his way to work when a van filled with 1,650 pounds of explosives rammed into a NATO convoy.

"Dead bodies were everywhere," said an Afghan cop. Many of yesterday's dead were women and children who were riding on a bus. Officials said more than 50 other people were wounded.

"A van driving very fast approached the convoy of foreigners and a huge blast went off," said government worker Noor Mohammad.

"I didn't know I was hurt. The explosion deafened my ears and I had a blackout."

The blast wrecked nearly 20 vehicles, including five SUVs in the NATO convoy, and scattered debris and body parts across the wide boulevard.

The body of a woman was smashed against the window of the bus.

According to the Pentagon, 1,060 U.S. soldiers have been killed in the overall campaign, dubbed Operation Enduring Freedom, which includes casualties in other countries like Pakistan and Uzbekistan.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who just returned from a trip to Washington, called yesterday's attack "heartbreaking."

The fighting continued into today as insurgents launched a predawn assault against the U.S.-run Bagram Air Field.

Seven militants had been killed during the "ongoing attack" on Bagram, which included rockets, small arms and grenades, a U.S. statement said. Five service members have been wounded.

The assault began when U.S. guards spotted attackers just outside the base and opened fire, sparking a gun battle, said an Afghan provincial police commander.

BREAKING NEWS: TALIBAN ATTACK BAGRAM AFB IN AFGHANISTAN

Taliban attack biggest NATO base in Afghanistan


News by Sardar Ahmad Sardar Ahmad – 32 mins ago
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100519/wl_sthasia_afp/afghanistanunrest_20100519082221


BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AFP) – Taliban gunmen armed with rockets and grenades attacked the largest NATO base in Afghanistan at dawn Wednesday, sparking battles that killed 10 militants and wounded seven soldiers.

The audacious assault on Bagram Airfield came one day after a suicide car bomber killed five US soldiers, a Canadian colonel and 12 Afghans in Kabul, highlighting the relentless pace of the nearly nine-year insurgency.

The Taliban claimed responsibility, saying that 20 suicide bombers took part in the assault. The militia is known to exaggerate its claims and there was no other confirmation that suicide attackers were involved.

Major Virginia McCabe, a press officer at Bagram, said the attack was still going on after 9:00 am but denied the insurgents had been able to penetrate the sprawling base, nor was she able to confirm they were suicide bombers.

"It is still going on, but it is sporadic now," she said.

"They targeted a gate but couldn't enter, they didn't enter.... Seven ISAF soldiers were wounded. Our soldiers' response was pretty quick.

"More than 10 Taliban were killed," she said.

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said the ongoing attack on Bagram "included rockets, small arms and grenades".

Around 60 kilometres (35 miles) north of Kabul, Bagram is run primarily by the US military and is the biggest NATO base in the country.
