A U.S. military base in Afghanistan was attacked by rockets today as ground fighting resumed in the biggest U.S.-led ground attack of the Afghan War on Taliban and al-Qaeda forces. CNN is reporting there have been multiple U.S. fatalities during today’s battles. Unconfirmed reports say that Canadian, Australian, Danish, German and French forces and planes joined U.S. troops in the operation around Gardez that started early Saturday morning. The Washington Post reported upwards of 1,000 U.S. and other Western military personnel have been deployed. The fierce resistance from rebel forces repulsed the U.S.-led offensive on Saturday, forcing Afghan fighters and U.S. advisers to withdraw close to Gardez. The region remains under constant bombardment by B-52s and jet fighters.
