| Kabul, Kandahar hit |
| 2001-10-13 |
The United States and Britain resumed airstrikes against Taliban military targets near two major Afghan cities on Saturday as a fourth Navy aircraft carrier, the Theodore Roosevelt, passed through the Suez Canal today and steamed toward the Arabian Sea. After briefly easing its bombardment on Friday in deference to the Muslim holy day, American attack planes struck before dawn near the airports in Kabul, the Afghan capital, as well as in the southern city of Kandahar, the Taliban stronghold. British submarines fired Tomahawk cruise missiles in the first British attacks since the opening salvos last Sunday. |
