U.S. Marines fire towards Taliban positions after being ambushed in southern Helmand province October 9, 2009. The White House has been presented intelligence estimating Taliban-led forces battling U.S. troops in Afghanistan have nearly quadrupled since 2006 and are increasingly independent of leaders in Pakistan, officials said on Friday.
