The fresh assault on the Taliban involves UK troops working with the Afghan Army

Friday July 30,2010

A fresh assault on the Taliban has been launched by British forces in southern Afghanistan.

Operation Tor Shezada, a bid to squeeze insurgents out of central Helmand Province, got off to a "successful" start in the early hours of Friday, military chiefs said.

The assault, involving UK troops working with the Afghan Army, is a small operation continuing the momentum gathered by Operation Mostarak earlier this year, the Ministry of Defence added.
