Fighting between Afghanistan's opposition northern alliance and the ruling Taliban intensified Tuesday as the U.S. continued its airstrikes. Palestinian leaders closed universities and schools in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, a day after two Palestinians were killed and more than 210 hurt in the deadliest internal fighting in years, sparked by protests against the U.S. attacks on Afghanistan. A top Saudi official would not rule out a possible link between the Sept. 11 terror attacks and an explosion here that killed one American and another expatriate. A Palestinian high school senior who blew himself up near an Israeli car has become the 100th suicide bomber sent to attack Israel since 1993. Five Israelis are known to have died in the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, at least two of whom were on hijacked flights, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said.
Animals wobble and collapse.
Birds drop lifeless from trees. People scratch wildly at blinded eyes and shudder with their dying gasps. Survivors stagger away, wheezing and vomiting blood. Washington's NATO partners listened to the evidence against terror suspect Osama bin Laden and responded by lending military hardware. British Prime Minister Tony Blair listened and declared unequivocally that America had identified those responsible for the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States.
