In one of the heaviest nights of bombing in the 34-day-old US war on the ruling Afghan Taliban, waves of jets pounded frontline positions of the hardline militia into the dawn on Friday. At least 40 bombs were heard exploding on the front line where Taliban fighters are dug in facing the forces of the opposition Northern Alliance, said witnesses from the front.
Four huge blasts rocked the area at about 0600 hrs local time, rattling windows and shaking the ground in the town of Jabal-us-Saraj, several kilometres behind the front lines.
