Day seventeen developments

In the clearest indication yet of the nexus between Pakistan, Afghanistan and the terrorism in Kashmir, 22 Harkat-ul-Mujahideen militants were killed in US raids on the Afghan capital Kabul (Full Story), even as the US, yet again, had to eat the humble pie and admit that its bombs missed targets in Kabul and Herat (Full Story).

The US also attacked frontline Taleban positions, north of Kabul, apparently paving the way for the entry of Northern Alliance forces into the Afghan capital (Full Story), even as the Taleban claimed that the US strikes this time around had hit a mosque in Herat killing scores (Full Story).

In US the anthrax scare continued to dominate the public psyche with Washington Mayor Anthony Williams confirming that two postal workers died due to inhalation anthrax (Full Story).

The Taleban again thumbed its nose at the US saying it was ready for a long war and described the US strikes as a crusade against Islam (Full Story), while accusing India of helping the opposition Northern Alliance (Full Story).

Elsewhere, radical Islamic elements in Pakistan stepped up their activities protesting at the Jacobabad air base, where US aircraft and troops are stationed, while the Pakistan government took the battle to the radical elements ranks, arresting 150 activists and using force to break up the demonstration (Full Story).

Meanwhile, an angry China denied reports that it had paid Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden millions of dollars to acquire two unexploded US cruise missiles, used in the 1998 attack on the renegade's hideouts. It also denied that it was helping the Taleban in its fight against the US (Full Story).
