Musa Qala
Musa Qala ('Fortress of Moses')〔(Times online - Bungs and bungling in Musa Qala: (15 July 2008) )〕 is a town and the district center of Musa Qala District in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. It sits at and at 1043 m altitude in the valley of Musa Qala River in the central western part of the district. Its population has been reported in the British press to be both 2,000〔(Smith, Mick (1 October 2006) "Message to the Politicians - Let the Soldiers Get on with their Job!" ''Times Online'' )〕 and 20,000.〔(Tom Coghlan in Kabul and James Burleigh (10 December 2007) "Battle for Taliban stronghold intensifies" ''Telegraph Online'' )〕 It is in a desolate〔(Toderich, Kristina and Tsikatani, Tsuneo (October 2005) "Water/Pasture Assessment of Registan Desert (Kandahar and Helmand Provinces)" Kier Discussion Paper Series Discussion Paper No. 606, p. 2 )〕 area, populated by native Pashtun tribes.〔(Rahmani, Waliullah (23 March 2006) "Helmand Province and the Afghan Insurgency" ''Terrorism Monitor'' 4(6): pp. 3-5, p.4 )〕
==Taliban resurgence==
In February 2006 intensive fighting erupted there, leading to 28 deaths, including the Musa Qala district chief, Abdul Quddus.〔〔(Dupee, Matt (20 May 2006) "Afghan Battles Kill Up To 105" ''Afghan.com'' )〕 On March 3, 2006, the Sangin district governor, Amir Jan, was killed in Musa Qala while on vacation.〔
British forces were deployed to defend the district offices at Musa Qala (and also at Sangin, Nowzad and Kajaki). Over several months, eight British soldiers died there during attacks by the Taliban. July 23–25, 2006, Danish troops of the "1. Lette Opklaringseskadron" (1st Light Reconnaissance Squadron, 120 men) moved in to replace the British troops, but found themselves having to assist the British troops repel a major Taliban attack before they could carry out the replacement. On 28 August 2006, the Danish forces were replaced as planned—if slightly belated—and were once again replaced by the British.〔Johannesen, Lars Ulslev, "De danske tigre", Kbh 2008, ISBN 978-87-02-06742-2 describes the Danish actions there; him being the commander.〕
