The Air Force has conducted more than 2,000 airstrikes in Afghanistan in the past six months, a sharp increase in bombing that reflects a growing demand for U.S. air cover since NATO has assumed a larger combat role, officials said.

The 2,095 attacks by U.S. aircraft since June is many times greater than the number of airstrikes in Iraq. There have been only 88 attacks by U.S. aircraft in Iraq since June, according to Air Force figures.
