| US planes hit Talibs near Tadjik border |
| 2001-10-28 |
AI KHANUM, Afghanistan: US warplanes on Sunday opened up a new front in their raids on Taliban forces in northeast Afghanistan close to the Tajikistan border. Three strikes were heard over a three-hour period from mid-morning on Sunday on Taliban controlled territory near the main zone held by the opposition Northern Alliance. It was impossible to tell whether US bombs hit Taliban military targets or whether there were victims. But jet engines could still be heard flying over Taliban territory as night fell on Sunday. |
