Soldiers from Company A, 2nd Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, as part of Task Force Slugger, pushed westward into the Nerkh district of Wardak Province, Afghanistan, May 23-25 to focus on security.

The three-day operation, based out of a joint security station in Nerkh, emphasized detaining insurgents rather than just maintaining security presence the farther west they pushed.

Capt. Andrew Miller, commander of Co A, 2nd Bn, 30th Inf Reg, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division led the main offensive effort. Miller knows what he wants to accomplish from the operation.

Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh is said to have been wounded in an attack on his compound. Reports indicate the president was lightly injured, while several other government officials were also hurt, some of them more seriously.

Initial reports indicate a shell hit a mosque inside President Saleh's compound in Sana'a during midday prayers Friday. It was not immediately clear who launched the attack, but the city has been ravaged by fighting between government troops and tribal forces for nearly two weeks.

The Pakistani Taliban says its forces in Afghanistan are responsible for a deadly raid in Pakistan.

A Taliban spokesman made the claim Friday during a phone call with reporters. He said about 40 to 50 insurgents were involved in the cross-border attack on a security checkpoint near Pakistan's northwestern Dir tribal area. The government says up to 400 militants had swarmed the area.

The claim of responsibility comes one day after Pakistan demanded Afghanistan, and NATO forces there, crack down on insurgents on the Afghan side of the border.
