Operation Moshtarak biggest military operation against Taliban

"The biggest military operation against Taliban elements named Operation Moshtarak in the southern province of Helmand continues with minor sporadic resistance from the Taliban militants. The operation is led by Nato and Afghan forces with over 15000 forces taking part. As the operation enters into the second half of its first week, major gains have been claimed by the NATO forces. The operation hasnt been easy; however, it hasnt been as difficult as it had been expected earlier. The operation targets the strong holds of Taliban Militants in the districts Marjah and Nad-e-Ali. The aim of the operation is to rid Marjah of militancy and drugs traffickers and then hand it over to Afghan police before establishing a civil administration for the area."
