U.S. Troops Hurt in Raid in Afghanistan
http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-3587364,00.html


ANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - Insurgents attacked a U.S. military convoy
in southern Afghanistan, injuring two soldiers, a provincial governor said
Monday.

The convoy came under fire Saturday near Deh Rawood in Uruzgan province,
governor Jan Mohammed Khan said. He had no details of who carried out the
attack or on the condition of the injured soldiers.

The U.S. military had no immediate comment.

Khan said U.S. troops returned to the area on Sunday, arresting three
relatives of Haji Ghulam Nabi, a tribal leader who Khan said had close ties to
the former Taliban regime. Nabi had gotten away, he said.

1. where efforts should be focused
we have chaos and half assed measures.
the wounding and killing of troops is going to escalate as insurgents learn to take advantage of those obvious weaknesses.
