On Monday 2nd October, the US marines engaged in the “Mountain Fury” operation at Tut Naw, a small village of farmers and cattle breeders. They carried out a house-to-house search, looking for presumed Talibans who should have been hiding there. But they found nothing, not even weapons. The soldiers set fire to six houses, killed about ten cows by shooting at them, and then left taking three of the village boys with them. The episode was reported by the governor of the province, who promised the population of Tut Naw to ask the Usa commands for explanations and especially for compensation for the damage caused

It has offered 15 million dollars to acquire a piece of land in the heart of Belgrade where it plans to build the new US embassy in Serbia.
