NATO-led offensive continues in Afghanistan
U.S., U.K. and Afghan forces continue a military assault against Taliban fighters in Marjah, Afghanistan, this morning. Plans for the offensive were widely discussed by U.S. and NATO commanders before the operation began, in an attempt to warn civilians in the area and limit civilian casualties. But on Sunday, two coalition rockets missed their mark, killing 12 civilians. We look at how coalition forces are doing in this critical operation with Jeffrey Dressler, an Afghanistan expert with the Institute for the Study of War, and Global Post correspondent Jean MacKenzie, who is on the ground in Afghanistan.
