U.S. and Afghan troop J
attack Taliban, al-Qai
GARDEZ, Afghanistan (AP)
— In the biggest known U.S.-
led ground operation of the war,
U.S. and Afghan troops backed
by U.S. jets Saturday attacked
Taliban and al-Qaida forces
regrouping in eastern
Afghanistan. One American was
killed and a number were
injured, the Pentagon said.
On Sunday morning, at least
nine powerful bombs blasted the
Shah-e-Kot mountain range for
a third day of strikes, shaking
the ground in the foothills 18
miles away and sending up thick
black plumes of smoke. B-52s
raced across the sky in a con
stant stream.
Three U.S.-allied Afghan
fighters also were killed
Saturday, the Pentagon added.
Saturday’s ground attack, which
began at dawn, made little head
way in dislodging Taliban and
al-Qaida fighters who fought
back with artillery, mortars and
heavy machine guns, Afghan
officials said.
A U.S. defense official said a
U.S.-led force of 1,500 Afghan
allies, U.S. special forces and
troops from the Army’s 101st
Airborne assault troops assem
bled for a battle. Canadian troops
also participated, but not in large
numbers, Canadian military
spokesperson Lt. Navy Luc
Charron said. Afghan fighters
interviewed here said the
Americans told them there were
about 4,000 al-Qaida and Taliban
warriors holed up in the moun
tains.
More than 80 bombs were
dropped Friday and Saturday in
the snowy, mountainous terrain,
the U.S. military’s Central
Command in Florida said. For
the first time, warplanes dropped
newly developed bombs
designed to send suffocating
blasts through cave complexes,
military officials said. The “ther-
mobaric” bombs were tested in
December and officials said in
January that they would be
rushed to the region for the war.
U.S. forces dropped pam
phlets written in Afghanistan’s
Pashto and Dari languages on the
arid plains near the mountain site
of the assault, warning that the
days of al-Qaida and the Taliban
were numbered and urging resi
dents not to support them,
“Stop resisting. End your
fight. Otherwise you are fin
ished,” the pamphlets declared.
They urged residents to inform
coalition forces about regroup
ing al-Qaida and Taliban troops
and featured a picture of a
Taliban fighter armed with a
Kalashnikov sitting on a truck.
Afghan forces broke off the
attack in early afternoon and
withdrew, possibly to allow U.S.
bombers to soften up Taliban
and al-Qaida positions
overnight. Heavy bombers could
be heard flying toward the area
late Saturday and B-52 bombers
were flying over the area
Sunday morning. The Central
Command said fighting contin
ued into Saturday night.
Pakistan closed its border to
prevent escap>e by any fleeing al-
Qaida or Taliban members.

Palestinian shooter opens fi
at Israeli army checkpoint
\, "ISLagi

JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian gunmen
opened fire Sunday on Israeli soldiers and civilian
cars at an army checkpoint in the West Bank, killing
nine people and wounding two seriously, a para
medic on the scene said.
The dead included seven soldiers and two civil
ians, the paramedic, Hezi Tsur, told Israel radio.
The attack came just 12 hours after a Palestinian
suicide bomber blew himself up in
a crowded ultra-Orthodox Jewish
neighborhood of Jerusalem late
Saturday, killing nine Israelis,
including several children, and
wounding more than 30.
The Al Aqsa Brigades, a militia
linked to Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat’s Fatah movement, claimed
responsibility for Saturday’s
bombing. Israel radio said the
militia also claimed responsibility
for Sunday’s shooting attack.
The militia has said it would
take revenge for Israel’s assault

Sunday’s attack took place at an Israeli army
roadblock near the Palestinian village of Silwad
and the Jewish settlement of Ofra.
Motorist Eli Barashi said he was about 300
yards from the checkpoint at the time.
“I heard shooting and I saw the soldiers firing
back to the east. As I stood there somebody was hit
and fell and shouted for a medic. He was about five
yards from me. One man who came out of a build
ing was also hit. I couldn’t be of any use so I turned
round and left to get help,” Barashi told Israel Radio.
Elsewhere, three soldiers were wounded in a
Palestinian shooting attack near the Gaza Strip
Sunday morning, the army said.
Israel radio said there were four wounded sol
diers. However, a spokesperson for a settlers
group said one was killed and three wounded.
The radio said the shooting was on the road
that runs along the Israeli side of the fence
between the Gaza Strip and southern Israel.
