...Taliban positions just opposite the Northern Alliance camp at Bagram airbase. But as the week ended they had dropped only half a dozen or so bombs, and the Alliance Commanders were fuming. "It's a joke," said General Said Khel, who commands one of the fronts north of Kabul and will be one of the generals who will lead the advance on the capital, if the attack ever takes place.

Once the north has been secured, the Alliance will move on Kabul. They will push as far as the edge of the city, however, but will not enter, in deference to the terrible memories of chaos and pillage in 1992 when they last captured the city. Instead, Gen. Fazel Ahmad Azimi told TIME, they will send in a 3000 -man force drawn...
