U.S. Marines Land Near Kandahar dailynews.yahoo.com WASHINGTON (AP) - A first wave of U.S. Marines landed near the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar in southern Afghanistan (news - web sites) on Sunday as American airstrikes helped subdue an uprising by Taliban prisoners of war at a fortress in northern Afghanistan, U.S. officials said. The Marines, numbering in the ``low hundreds,'' were to be followed by several hundred more from Navy ships in the Arabian Sea, a senior defense official said Sunday night. The official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said the Marines landed by helicopter southwest of Kandahar, and that additional Marines were to arrive by C-130 transport aircraft. The official would not discuss the Marines' intended mission, except to say they would perform ``a variety of functions'' and may number more than 1,000 within a few days. Kandahar is the last major Taliban holdout against opposition uprisings throughout the countryr.
