| Dust storms halt advance |
| 2001-10-04 |
Severe dust storms in northern Afghanistan have halted the advance of the Afghan Opposition, and allowed the Taliban time to muster troops for a counter-offensive. A Taliban attack is expected in the north of the country in the next day or two. The Taliban continues to have superior numbers and fire power, and the Opposition's forces believe they are unlikely to prevail without foreign intervention. |
