On Friday, for the first TIME, Rumsfeld confirmed that American special-ops troops?whose role has largely been to coordinate Alliance advances and guide U.S. bombers to their targets?are now killing Taliban guerrillas and al-Qaeda operatives.

East Timorese refugees?mainly former militiamen and Indonesian soldiers and their families?yearn to return from their squalid camps in West Timor.
