Ok I screwed up. It seems there were French commando forces attached to "Enduring Freedom" (as opposed to the ISAF) in 2001 and again in the summer of 2003 to the present. These forces, which never seem to have number more than 200 or so, have been under U.S. command. (See here and here.)
So the timeline is possible, but I still find it unlikely. They were under American control, and if they had requested a go ahead on an attack of this sort somebody in the U.S. military knows about it. Actually, lots of people would have to know about it. Yet no reporters can find a single corroborating source?
I remain dubious.
