| FoxNews reports the Northern Alliance claims its forces are in Kandahar. Bismillah Khan said his forces had "entered into Kandahar," and later reported fighting just on the city's edge. Khan was speaking from Kabul and said his information was based on radio communications with his commanders at the scene. The Defense Department thinks they may be referring to the province, rather than the city, and worries they may clash with Pashtuns in the same area. The Taliban have hanged a man in Kandahar as a US spy. The Afghan Islamic Press reported from Kandahar that the Taliban arrested a man found with a satellite telephone and hanged him today at an intersection known as Martyr's Crossing. The man, who was not identified, was accused of pointing out bombing targets to the Americans. |
