UK Troops in Huge Turbine Mission



Almost three thousand British troops in southern Afghanistan have successfully transported a huge hydroelectric power turbine through Taleban territory.

In one of their biggest operations in Helmand, a convoy of 100 vehicles took five days to move the massive sections of the turbine 180km (112 miles).

The $6m (£3.4m) turbine will produce electricity for an extra 1.9m people.

Wouldn't want to be around when they get their electricity bills.
