Hazar Qadam raid
On January 24, 2002, the American military launched an overnight raid against a "large munitions cache"〔http://www.usembassy-israel.org.il/publish/peace/archives/2002/january/012606.html〕 north of Kandahar, as part of its invasion of Afghanistan, claiming that it was a weapons stockpile of the Taliban or al-Qaeda. However it was later discovered that the target was actually a compound that the United States had ''asked'' to collect weapons for the government of Hamid Karzai, and that the dead and captured were actually all backers of the American invasion.〔Stephen Tanner, "Afghanistan: A Military History"〕〔Jim Heintz, San Bernardino Sun, (U.S. special forces intensify hunt, seize weapons ), January 25, 2002〕〔BBC News, 24 January 2002, US troops battle Al Qa'ida militants〕
==Battle==
The 101st Airborne was reportedly "spoiling for a fight", when they were given the opportunity to launch an overnight helicopter-borne assault against a school, which they characterized as "two adajacent compounds" in Hazar Qadam, 60 miles north of Kandahar.〔〔〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/1805124.stm〕
The United States found 400 60mm mortar rounds, 300 RPG rounds, 300 100mm rockets, thousands of fuses, 250 automatic grenade launcher rounds and more than 500,000 individual rounds for small arms,〔 that had been collected by their Afghan allies, and called in an AC-130 gunship to destroy the cache.〔
The resulting firefight at the weapons depot killed 21 Afghans, and 27 others were captured and taken to Camp Rhino as prisoners.〔 One American was wounded in the ankle, making him the first American military casualty since Nathan Chapman was the first soldier killed.〔Michigan Daily, (US Troops seize 27 Taliban fighters ), January 25, 2002〕
