U.S. prepares Afghanistan offensive: Operation Mountain Storm intensifies hunt for bin Laden
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The next round of military operations in Afghanistan will be named “Operation Mountain Storm,” U.S. defense officials said Friday. Officials have said that ground troops and aircraft are expected to move into Afghanistan's southeastern border region near Pakistan in the days and weeks ahead to conduct operations against Taliban and al Qaeda remnants believed to be operating there.
