RNW: Going to Uruzgan: Dutch expect Taliban attacks Dutch commandos carrying out reconnaissance operations due north of the provincial capital, Tarin Kowt, have already met with regular armed resistance from members of the Taliban, and have returned fire on each occasion.

frontline: campaign against terror: interviews: u.s. army captain jason amerine | PBS We anticipated at some point laying siege to Tarin Kowt, where, at one time, there was an airfield.
