| US jets hitting Balkh |
| 2001-10-30 |
U.S. jets pounded Taliban positions in the Balkh region around Mazar-e-Sharif, in strikes that an opposition spokesman called relentless. "They hit very important positions of the Taliban," spokesman Ashraf Nadeem said. Witnesses also said they saw a U.S. plane drop a bomb Tuesday at the Bagram front lines, about 25 miles north of Kabul, creating a mushroom cloud that billowed at least 1,000 feet into the air. Witnesses called it the biggest bomb to hit the area in 10 days of American bombardments on the front lines. See how the Talibs like sitting under those for a few days. |
