Afghan insurgents strike U.S. outpost
By Barbara Starr
A band of Afghan insurgents breached a small U.S. outpost in southern Afghanistan early Tuesday, wounding nine coalition troops before all but one of the attackers were killed, two U.S. officials said.
The U.S. officials said at least eight insurgents somehow made their way into the security perimeter at Forward Operating Base Frontenac, in the Arghandab River valley. The area has been the scene of extensive insurgent activity in recent years.
Seven of the attackers were killed and the lone survivor was wounded, the officials said. Neither official could explain how the breach occurred, but initial reports indicate officials believe the insurgents might have had help from Afghan security personnel.
Tuesday's attack follows an incident Monday in which three gunmen in Afghan police uniforms fired on American troops in another location in southern Afghanistan, killing one and wounding several others.
Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby said the past couple of days have been tough, but attacks tend to escalate at this time of year. "It's not uncommon that in the warm months of the year, violence will increase there in Afghanistan," Kirby said. "Part of that is because of the weather. Part of it is because ISAF and coalition forces are being more aggressive. They're out and about much more, particularly in the south, so there - they have occasion to be in more contact with or more of a problem for the enemy and, therefore, eliciting some of these attacks."
Uniformed Afghans - either insurgents in disguise or members of the country's police or military - have been behind numerous killings of U.S. and NATO troops this year. The incidents have fueled mutual distrust between Afghan and allied forces in the now-decade-old conflict.

Its been two years since this occurred, and now the FOB is closed and most of us that were there are now home or on other assignments. What happened that night will never be truly told to the public, for the most part, no one really cares anymore. With the events unfolding in Iraq now, we can see whats in store for Afghanistan.. complete failure of any organised government to uphold the rights and liberties of their people, and the extremists will roll through and retake all that we have spent blood and treasure to establish. We can never hope to impose freedoms on a people unwilling to fight for them.
I still have a piece of shrapnel from the mortars used in this attack. What a scary night. The CNN version of the story is so false it is almost humerous.
Its funny...I hadnt thought of this for awhile. I was just sotting in my truck checking email and happened to be wearing my " I Survived FOB Frontenac" t-shirt. Made me go back and look at all pics I have from the aftermath of the attack.
sorry about the chow hall, my bad!
I believe this attack was part of the Inside Combat Rescue show! when they had to rescue the injured.
Nun of this story is true...far from what happened. They were not dressed as afgan police nor military and their were onlky 6 of them and where all killed. They snuck onto the fob not threw an ecp but another way. 6 us soldiers where wounded in action and 1 afgan national tundra guard of the fob was kia who saved the life of a sgt. and his boss who were heading into danger and he told thim to go the other way seconds before being shot to death. They ran around in the pitch black 4 of them throwing gernades and spraying their ak47s into buildings and bunkers in attempt to take out sleeping or hiding soldiers which they did not succeed, while the other 2 stayed in the back and did IDF shooting rockets at throwing gernades as well. They were takin out as soon as we got eyes on them and everyone is okay, Thank God! Hooah
You have some of your facts wrong. I am here on the same FOB andI know personally a few of the people who were shot, not all of the injured were shot but it was more than 6 injured. Now I dont know who you are but you need to remember OPSEC. The general population does not need to know every detail of how this stuff went down. You wanna tell people when you get back then great but keep your mouth shut while your out here. Your not the only one reading this. Your probably some no name private who needs to have an NCO's foot up your ass for putting this all on CNN so I suggest from now on before you decide to think, ask your NCO first.
AMEN SOLDIER! Our guys are in enough risk everyday (my son , my friends and his friends included) Didnt you learn about OPSEC? By putting all this out for the general public your putting yourself and the rest of your fellow soldiers at even more risk! Dont you think the insurgents have access to what your putting out there? They can get on the internet too ya know! And what about the family and friends like me at home? Do you really think putting this crap on here is helping ease our minds at all? Why do you think facebook and email and all that stuff is monitored? They dont want us (and the enemy) knowing too much at this point! If your really on that FOB then you already know the hell everyone has already been through, and you should be running off at the mouth online for the world to see. All i got left to say is your damn lucky IM not your NCO! or YOUR MOTHER!
You are the reason they shut down the internet.... OPSEC saves lives...you need to re-take the training. and think about what to put out.
Exactly, OPSEC... Way to much info for the public
Don't be a dumba$$! Everyone knows that the news cannot get any facts right, but that does not mean for you to come online and start giving up information that can be used against you. OPSEC, practice it fool!
I was their that nite I was their I was a roller fsr contractor with mantec/pd system. I give our us military their props it was a black out fob. the guys came out and fought in the middle of the nite 2:30 to be Exact and fought Until 7:30 the next morning. It seem un real but I was an eye witness to it all. Thank God no one really got heart or more peope killed.
so... where do you want to see a mushroom cloud or chernobal event the most in the world
Reblogged this on tangentialromantic and commented:
[Nothing to add]
This was written by a Canadian woman, but oh how
it also applies to the U.S.A. , U.K. And Australia .
THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCH
Written by a housewife in New Brunswick , to
her local newspaper. This is one ticked off lady...
_______________________________________________________________
"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was
it or was it not, started by Islamic people who
brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001
and have continually threatened to do so since?
Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered
that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from
the capitol of the USA and in a field in Pennsylvania ?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were
claiming to be tortured by a justice system of a
nation they are fighting against in a brutal Insurgency.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle
East, start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief
of which, is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan .
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are
sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head, while Berg
screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents'
in Afghanistan , come out and fight like men,
instead of disrespecting their own religion by
hiding in Mosques and behind women and children.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow
themselves up in search of Nirvana, care about the
innocent children within range of their suicide Bombs.
I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that
their freedom of Speech on stories, is more important than
the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting
at home, to hear about them when something happens.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a
CANADIAN soldier roughing up an Insurgent
terrorist to obtain information, know this:
I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the
head when he is told not to move because he
might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:
I don't care. Shoot him again.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food, that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe, in your heart of hearts:
I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes
it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.'
Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it.
I don't care!!
If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to
all your E-mail Friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to
the people responsible for this ridiculous behaviour!
If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete
button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't
complain when more atrocities committed by radical
Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:
Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering, if
during their life on earth, they made a difference in
the world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.
I have another quote that I would like to
share AND...I hope you forward All this.
One last thought for the day:
Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The British Soldier.
3. The Canadian Soldier.
4. The US Soldier, and
5. The Australian Soldier
One died for your soul,
the other four, for you and your children's Freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,
AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET!
AMEN! GOD BLESS CANADA AND AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA.
P.S. I don't care if other political types or other religious types are upset at Harper for saying radical Islamics are Canada's greatest threat because they are.
I am here. We are all ok.
I'm very glad to hear that, Sheila. I was getting quite worried. This needs to stop.
I don't get it. We used to fight wars with objectives, we learned a huge lesson in Vietnam that cost tens of thousands of US servicemen's lives. You don't fight a war without a clear obtainable objective. I get it, this is where we were attacked from, but the enemy we came to destroy was Al Quaeda, we drove them from power and mostly out of the country in the early years of this war. Since then we've sat around until a homegrown insurgency could form... Our enemy lies directly across the border in Pakistan. Why are we sitting in Afghanistan when Al Quaeda, the group responsible for attacking us is not there... The people of Afghanistan eventually turned against us, because we're occupying their country... our fight wasn't with the people of Afghanistan it was with Al Quaeda... Seriously, we do not owe Afghanistan anything, we came in, destroyed the people we were after, we should have left... let the Afghanis figure out what kind of Government they want and how they want to run their lives, we don't owe them anything... we destroyed the people that attacked us, that should have been our ONLY objective.
Oh yes Clinton, we do have an objective in Afghanistan and that objective is the vast underground mineral resources totalling to well over a trillion dollars. This the media almost never talks about. They just conveniently call it a "war on terrorism".! It's all political!
Afghanistan has was underground resources of unobtaneum.
its over in Afghanistan , now all that needs to happen is that obama should finally get the message that he has been getting for over the last three years .
TEN YEARS IN & THE POPPY FIELDS ARE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN BEFORE , in 2011 was the largest harvest ever .
Im praying for all our guys over there...this is my sons FOB and hes there.
Tina I am right there with you! My husband is also at the fob. Im praying for the few wounded american soldiers and there families!
Only a stupid, crazy fool would say that we still belong in Afghanistan. We need to get the Karzai regime in the Taliban together and then leave just like the Russians did back in 1989!
Again George, I totally agree!
Driving north over the same bridge... and the same railroad.
