Operation Rawa Tander, Pashto for Rolling Thunder, a joint Canada and Afghan military mission, disrupted insurgent activity in one of Kandahar province's most dangerous areas, Pashmul. Several dozen insurgents were killed or injured during the week-long operation. A suicide car bomber wounded four ISAF troops and four Afghans near Jalalabad. Canada will move helicopters and unmanned aircraft to Afghanistan to increase surveillance of roads.
