The following are events related to the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) that took place on this day.

2002

  • Start of Operation Condor in Afghanistan

2003

  • Kamal Mustafa Abdallah Sultan surrendered. He was the Queen of Clubs in Iraq’s Most Wanted Deck of Playing Cards.

2007

  • Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen James Conway, rebuked Army officials for offering premature apologies for the actions of special operations Marines after they were struck by a car bomb in Afghanistan on 4 March. The Marines’ reaction to the attack was still under investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service prompting Gen Conway to state, “As has historically been the case, a service member under investigation or undergoing trial is innocent until proven guilty. And too much in the terms of declaration of guilt and apologies has already been said.” Lawyers for a few of the Marines under investigation also submitted formal letters to the Army requesting its’ leadership cease making prejudicial statements.
