"While most of Kabul appears to be glad the Taliban is gone, many residents - mostly Pashtun - are worried about what will happen now that the city is under the control of the northern alliance, made up mainly of Tajik and Uzbek troops."

Try not to worry...the Turks are on the way.

This is the guy that introduced Bin Laden during that taped interview aired after our initial attack, right?

[blam]

Fox News just reported that Atef is/was a "top deputy' of Osama.

[Commonsense]

The meter's ticking on these evil doers.

[lonestar]

bin Laden--dead! Who wants to go through a "trial?"

Omar says he would rather die that work in a broad-based government such as called for by the U.N.

Hey Omar. If you don't die you won't have to worry about "working in a broad-based government." Typically, there is no govenment in a max security prison. Strictly a dictatorship. Can you spell b-e-n-d-o-v-e-r? LOL!

"They are killing Taliban that won't surrender and al-Qaida that are trying to move from one place to another," Rumsfeld told reporters as he flew from Washington to a naval training station near Chicago. He said U.S. forces in the country numbered in the hundreds.

And now that the tape from the cockpit of flight UA 93 has been released, and I listen to our pilots fighting desparately for their lives and the lives of the innocent people on the plane, I say kill ALL TALIBAN AND/OR AL_QAEDA on sight unless they offer to surrender. If they offer to surrender, take the bastards prisoner, interrogate them, and when finished interrogating them, put a gun up to their heads and blow their damned brains out.

"A 19-year-old fighter named Abdul Raqib said he personally carried out such an execution to avenge his father and brother's slaying.

"I made them stand in a line, and then I fired," he said. "I was so angry."

I feel your pain Abdul.

Quick . . . who has the pig skin ready so when they find his body, he can go to Allah appropriately wrapped?

I believe that this is the guy that many thought was actually the brains behind Bin Laden. Bin Laden was just the money.

There was a profile of him floating around here a month or so ago, but I can't find it.

[harpseal]

Hopefully this report will prove to be true.

Top Terrorist Reported Killed

That's one big turban to carve into the rifle stock...or in this case paint onto the side of the airplane.

The voices of the mullahs rang out through the streets of the capital last night, announcing the beginning of the religious holiday of Ramadan, as the new moon of the ninth month of the lunar calendar came into view.

If the basics of astronomy are too much for our betters at CBS News, how can we trust them to accurately report anything ?

[Guillam]

Don't get too excited. Its just part of the planned strategic withdrawal from the cities to the caves.

[texasbluebell]

Hard-core Taliban loyalists, many of them facing execution if captured, have decided to fight it out in two Afghan cities. But there are reports that Osama bin Laden is trying to run away.

What a coward!

Now THIS is what I've been waiting to hear. Mess with the best, die like the rest.

BLUTO: "..Bin Laden........"
OTTER: "...DEAD MAN!"

[mississippi red-neck]

I think Muhammad Atef, is was the guy in charge of the ambush of our soldiers in Somalia. Now he is just a good little muslim terrorist.

[COBOL2Java]

there are reports that Osama bin Laden is trying to run away.

Can you imagine capturing Osama trying to escape disguised under a burqua? I think some females ought to be tasked with the job of looking under the burquas of any unusually tall and thin "women."
