| Bombing enters fourth week |
| 2001-10-29 |
AS THE MILITARY campaign in Afghanistan entered its fourth week, U.S. planes dropped at least two bombs in Gora Tangi, near the Pakistan border, killing two people. The dayâs targets also included al-Qaida and Taliban command and control facilities and Taliban armor and troop concentrations. The attacks on bin Ladenâs suspected hideouts may signal the beginning of a new phase of the conflict aimed at âsmoking outâ bin Laden and his al-Qaida followers. U.S. and allied forces have previously concentrated on attacking al-Qaida training camps and Taliban military forces and supply lines. The supply lines are the important part at this stage. |
