Video: US Platoon Shoots it Out with Taliban Insurgents in Korengal Valley

By P.J. TOBIA

This gunfight took place last week in the Korengal Valley, one of Afghanistan—and the world’s—most dangerous places.

I learned of this video through a US Army press release and downloaded it from their video portal here. Though this was essentially produced as a propaganda video, the images do not lie. It was clearly one hell of a gunfight.

The unit involved is 2nd Bat., 12th Infantry Reg. and Afghan National Army elements.

    About Me

    I’m a writer and reporter living in Kabul, Afghanistan. For the past four years I’ve been an investigative reporter at various Village Voice Media weeklies, and before that I worked on documentary films in New York City.

    I am currently a journalism mentor and news editor for The Killid Group, a not-for-profit radio and print organization based in Kabul, with five radio stations and many bureaus throughout Afghanistan.

    My writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Christian Science Monitor, Village Voice, Modern Drunkard and other fine publications.

    Originally from Philadelphia, I’ve also worked in south Florida and Nashville, Tennessee.
