Afghanistan
Alliance will attack within days
2001-11-01
  • Ahmed Zia, brother of the alliance's recently assassinated defense minister, Ahmed Shah Massoud, told Iranian Radio that alliance forces would attack from [north of Kabul] within days. But Abdullah Abdullah, the alliance's acting foreign minister, stated that the attack would be toward the strategic northern city of Mazar-i- Sharif. (DAVID ROHDE NY TIMES)
    They may not even know where the main attack will occur; if they have good planners, it will be where it stands the most chance of success, rather than where someone in Washington, Moscow or Dushanbe would like it to be.
