Norwegian ISAF troops under fire

The Norwegian field base of Ghowrmach in the Faryab province in Northern Afghanistan has come under fire several times over the past two weeks. No Norwegian soldiers have been injured.

In Thursday's attack with rocket driven grenades and small arms fire, at least three insurgents were killed, after the Norwegians called in air support.

The camp is also used by some Afghan and US troops.
