Insurgents Attack NATO's Southern Afghan Base
AP, 22 May 2010

Insurgents launched a ground attack against NATO's main military base in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, officials said.

Rockets started hitting Kandahar Air Field about 8 p.m. local time (15:30 GMT), followed quickly by a ground assault, said Navy Commander Amanda Peperseim, a spokeswoman for NATO forces at the base. She said the attack was still ongoing and did not provide further details.

Been a busy night, lots of bug eyed folks around here, doing their best to freak out. People suddenly remembering that there is a war going on and not liking the realization.:rolleyes:
