BIN LADEN ON THE MOVE?

Nov. 14 — A day after the fall of Kabul, U.S. intelligence sources say Osama bin Laden is on the move amid reports that Kandahar, the southern spiritual heart of the Taliban, has fallen to the Northern Alliance.

After a series of rapid-fire victories by the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, the Taliban appeared to be unraveling today as U.S. warplanes continued to stalk the southern Afghan skies, hunting down Taliban soldiers retreating from Kabul to the south.

Amid reports of popular uprisings against the Taliban in eastern and central Afghanistan, U.S. intelligence sources told ABCNEWS that bin Laden, the prime suspect in the Sept. 11 attacks, and his inner circle had left the mountain caves where they were believed to be hiding.

U.S. intelligence sources also said U.S. Special Operations troops were on the ground in southern Afghanistan and were concentrating on the hunt for bin Laden.

U.S. TEAMS BLOCK ROADS

While no al-Qaida leaders have been caught, he added, U.S. special forces are watching key roads in southern Afghanistan.

       “They have been interdicting the main roads that connect the north to the south to see what’s going on and to stop people that they think ought to be stopped,” Rumsfeld said.
