CNN crew in combat - Operation Moshtarak

CNN International Correspondent Atia Abawi and CNN photographer Mary Rogers have been embedded with the US Marines (1/6’s Alpha) for Operation Moshtarak, in Marjah (Helmand province, Afghanistan).

They have filed many reports and videos available on the blog “Afghanistan Crossroads”.
Don’t miss Atia’s Reporter’s diary and these two must-seen videos:

Delie, thanks so much for this post of Atia's videos and links. Atia is an amazing war correspondent and it's great to see her work. Mary is also a very daring camera person. I hope they will get a vacation soon they deserve it.
