British troops join hunt for al-Qaida and Taliban in Afghanistan
British elite Royal Marines joined U S and Afghan forces in southeastern Afghanistan to pursue remaining alQaida and Taliban fighters. The operation, named Ptarmigan by Britain and Mountain Lion by the U S, focuses on high altitude terrain near the Pakistani border with no reported casualties so far. In Karzai’s regime, the former king Mohammad Zaher Shah returned from exile to Kabul as clashes and a Taliban weapons blast near Kandahar caused four deaths and one injury.
