NATO and Afghan troops join force

June 09, 2007

NATO troops have begun joint patrols through the streets of Sangin in Southern Afghanistan, the first time such operations have been carried out in the former stronghold of the Taliban. The town was the scene of some of the deadliest clashes since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001 and although it still sees regular clashes it is now enjoying something of a revival. Our reporter Stuart McDill joined one such joint patrol through the streets of Sangin.
