| The U.S. military has again dropped a "daisy cutter" bomb in Afghanistan, aiming at a cave where al Qaeda leaders -- possibly including Osama bin Laden -- were believed hiding. The 15,000 pound bomb was dropped in the Tora Bora area and fighting remained so intense that the military was unable to assess damage. Tribal fighters backed by tanks and U.S. warplanes launched an attack against al-Qaida forces and seized most of the valley leading to the suspected hide-out of The Shiek. |
