U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan: CNN
"A limited number" of U.S. special forces have entered Afghanistan, a U.S. defense official, who asked not to be named, told the Cable News Network (CNN) on Friday, CNN reported.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported on Friday, also quoting U.S. defense officials, that "Small numbers" of U.S. special troops have entered and started operations in southern Afghanistan.
"The number of U.S. personnel on the ground is just a handful now and is unlikely to ever resemble the large conventional forces assembled in the Persian Gulf War a decade ago, defense officials said," the newspaper said in the report.
