Anglian troops seize Taliban village
The men from C Company - currently living at the Paraang forward operating base near Nad-e 'Ali - have faced fierce fighting since arriving in Afghanistan in October.

But commanding officer Lt Col James Woodham MC said the latest operation, in which they took control of the village Caowshal-Kalay from insurgents, would help secure the area.
Maybe our publicity on the Marjah operation was to fix the enemy's attention there while we engage in a much broader operation to liberate the surrounding area. Ya think?
Surely we couldn't be that clever and devious. The Brits, on the other hand...
