Report:

Rumsfeld on Monday gave the first clear indication that that U.S aircraft were moving to open the way for Northern Alliance opposition forces in their drive to remove the country's Taliban rulers.

But the defense secretary also told reporters at that news briefing that there was no evidence to support Taliban claims that U.S. warplanes had bombed a hospital in Herat and killed more than 100 people.

"We have absolutely no evidence at all that would suggest that that allegation ... is correct. I'm sure it's not," the secretary said.

While Rumsfeld has admitted that some U.S. bombs have apparently gone awry during the campaign and killed civilians, he has rejected Taliban claims that hundreds of civilians have died in the bombings.
