Yesterday the planes returned with a vengeance. In a dozen successive sorties, aircraft appeared in the east. They soared overhead, the roar of the afterburners trailing far behind, then delivered their deadly charges apparently with pinpoint accuracy.

Each time a cheer went up along the river as villagers and horsemen gathered to watch. They announced the names of the positions hit: Kala Kata, Chaghatai, Puza Pol-e-Khomri . . .

Our driver Abdullah, a swarthy ethnic Turkmen and a commander in his own right, tuned into the radio frequency of his unit serving on the front line. "All the bombs are good," he announced with a broad smile. "They are all on target and have hit the Taliban's biggest positions. My men are celebrating."

From across the river, the outline of a ferry appeared bearing five soldiers. As they clambered ashore, they too stared at the sky, pointing. One had a brightly-coloured carpet rolled up and strapped to his back, another carried a small petroleum lamp. Four had Kalashnikovs, the fifth an old-fashioned bazooka.

Abdullah continued to talk into his radio. He said: "Our spies say Sunday's strikes killed 70 Taliban and injured 30 more. Today the number will be much higher."

Why should anyone oppose Saddam?

The problem is that US has two seprate agenda's, Oil(being a friend of Arabs!) and Security(working with Israel!) Tough. It is like keeping milk and meet in on plate! Israel was about to eliminate Sadam on several occaisions but was told by the US not to proceed! Same goes for Arafat! Figaro writes today that Bin Laden is in Dubai and was visited in a hospital by the head of CIA! Figaro doesn't print lies! French secret service leaked the news and the source is relialbe!

Sadui secret services organized a private plane to take Osama's family to Kandahar for Bin Ladens weeding and there were even Al Gezira reporters present. Now who Saudi secret services are working for? Didn't CIA knew?

Tim, let us began formulate questions! What is really going on! Does anybody know! GGG
