Afghan Capital Under Attack for 3rd Time - Witness October 07, 2001 07:01 PM ET KABUL (Reuters) - Anti-aircraft fire opened up for a third time over the Afghan capital early on Monday morning as residents heard planes roaring overhead, witnesses said. "You could hear a plane, or planes and then there was the reply of guns," one witness said. "It was not clear if more bombs were being dropped. It sounded like some outside the city." The United States and its allies finally launched anticipated attacks on Afghan Taliban targets on Sunday, shortly after a nightly curfew went into effect. A second raid came less than five hours later followed by the third early on Monday morning. Other cities including the Taliban's stronghold of Kandahar and the eastern city of Jalalabad have also been raided at least twice. reuters.com
