A US B-52 bomber on Friday pounded Taliban frontline positions north of the Afghan capital Kabul, but opposition officials here were skeptical over the impact of the raids. "Around 35 bombs were dropped this morning on the hills," said frontline commander Sayed Amruddin. "Four Taliban pick-ups were destroyed, but during these raids the Taliban leave the front. They can hear the plane coming, they leave and wait until the danger is over." (KHALEEJ TIMES) |
