A helicopter from the NATO-led foreign force in Afghanistan has crashed during an anti-Taliban operation, an Afghan official said August 6, 2011, adding there were foreign troop casualties. The helicopter came down late August 5 in a Taliban-infested district of the eastern province of Wardak, southwest of Afghan capital Kabul, said provincial spokesman Shahidullah Shahid. An eyewitness told AFP that the helicopter had crashed as it was trying to take off after landing on the roof of a Taliban commander's home during a firefight. AFP PHOTO/DAVID FURST/FILES

Američki ministar obrane Ashton Carter najavio je u utorak kako će SAD poslati specijalne snage u Irak ne bi li u toj državi stvarali pritisak na militante Islamske države.

- U potpunoj suradnji s iračkom vladom, šaljemo specijaliziranu ekspedicijsku postrojbu kako bismo pomogli iračkim i kurdskim borcima, rekao je Carter, i dodao da bi iste snage trebale biti u stanju voditi ‘jednostrane operacije’ u Siriji.

Ovu obavijest američki je ministar iznio pred kongresnim povjerenstvom za oružane snage u Washingtonu.

- Ove specijalne postrojbe će, s vremenom, moći izvoditi prepade, oslobađati taoce, skupljati informacije i zarobljavati vođe ISIL-a, izjavio je Carter.

Dužnosnici Pentagona još su u kolovozu najavili kako će organizirati više prepada, poput napada u sjevernom Iraku gdje su oslobodili iračke taoce, no tada su i naglasili kako će poslati manje od 50 vojnika.

Nova ekspedicijska postrojba vjerojatno će se također sastojati od ograničenog broja snaga za specijalno djelovanje, no mogla bi označiti i novu prekretnicu u američkoj politici na Bliskom Istoku, s kojeg se većina američkih kopnenih snaga već povukla.
