Northern Alliance Fighters Enter Kabul

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Fighters of the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance entered Kabul early on Tuesday, and roamed through the center of the Afghan capital, a Reuters reporter said.

``We have taken Kabul,'' shouted one jubilant opposition fighter as he stood with a group of fellow fighters on a street in the city center.

Their vehicles were plastered with photographs of their legendary leader, Ahmad Shah Masood, who was assassinated in a suicide attack just two days before the September 11 hijacked airliner attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

``We have taken key government buildings,'' another fighter said. ``We are chasing the Taliban to the west.''

Taliban military forces appeared to have deserted the capital of Kabul at dawn Tuesday, after a series of stunning military victories by opposition forces over the past four days, witnesses said.
