US, British Forces Again Strike Afghanistan

US and British forces struck targets in Afghanistan Monday night on the second day of an effort to weaken the Taliban military and disrupt guerrilla training in that country, US defense officials are quoted as saying in Washington.

There was no indication of what types of weapons were involved in the new round of strikes.

One of the defense officials told reporters that the military strikes were designed to knock out air defense missiles, fuel depots and airfields, and that some raids were also planned against Taliban troop concentrations.
