US Warplanes Launch Two Rounds of Attacks on Kabul

US warplanes Tuesday launched two rounds of air raids on the Afghan capital of Kabul, one just after midnight and the other at dawn, reports reaching here from Afghanistan said.

The first round of air strikes on Kabul came about 12:45 am (20:15 GMT on Monday) as US warplanes dropped three large bombs.

The warplanes returned at dawn and dropped two more bombs around 6:00 am (01:30 GMT).

The Taliban anti-aircraft guns opened fire around mid-morning as the US warplanes crossed the sky again.

The latest attacks came just one day after US jets hit Taliban front-line positions Monday as the United States tried to pave the way for the opposition in Afghanistan to advance on Kabul and other major cities.
