BAGRAM, Afghanistan - About 1,000 U.S. troops and attack helicopters swept into villages in southern Afghanistan (news - web sites) Thursday in a new military operation to flush out remaining al-Qaida terrorists and their allies, an Army spokesman said.

The operation, code-named "Valiant Strike," began with an early morning air assault assisted by a ground convoy in the remote, mountainous area of southern Kandahar province, Col. Roger King told reporters.

It was a coincidence that the operation began at the same time as U.S. forces began a broad military operation in Iraq (news - web sites), King said.

What about the other 390,000?
