From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation Omaid (Dari for Hope) was a planned 2010 military operation by international and Afghan forces to secure the southern city of Kandahar and push back the Taliban.[2] It would have come in the wake of the coalition offensive in Helmand Province focused on Marja, codenamed Operation Moshtarak. According to a Taliban spokesperson, a series of deadly bombings in Kandahar on March 13 was carried out in response to the announcement of the impending operation.[3]
