Operation Mountain Thrust From Breitbart News
"More than 10,000 Afghan and coalition forces have begun a massive anti-Taliban operation across southern Afghanistan, the largest offensive since the 2001 invasion that toppled the former regime, the U.S. military said Thursday.

Military forces are "moving forward with large-scale operations" in four southern provinces, Uruzgan, Helmand, Kandahar and Zabul, the military said in a statement.



As the offensive began, suspected militants continued their attacks against the coalition.

A bomb hidden on a bus carrying Afghan laborers to a coalition base in southern Kandahar city exploded Thursday, killing 10 workers and wounding 15. Coalition spokesman Maj. Quentin Innis said the explosion clearly targeted Afghans working for the coalition.

The military offensive, dubbed "Operation Mountain Thrust," is part of a major push to squeeze Taliban fighters responsible for a spate of ambushes and suicide attacks against coalition forces and Afghan authorities in recent months.

The operation was also timed to coincide with the upcoming transfer this summer of command in the south from the U.S.-led coalition to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force."
