...there was no champagne in the allies' high command. Anti-Taliban forces in Kandahar led by Hamid Karzai, the interim Prime Minister of Afghanistan, failed to capture Omar. That left the U.S. and its allies embroiled in a two-front manhunt for the Taliban chief and his even more high-profile Saudi guest. "We simply don't know right now where Omar is," the U.S. Central Command chief, General Tommy Franks, said Friday. A Kandahar eyewitness told TIME that early in the week Omar was spotted heading into the hills around Argandhab, west of Kandahar, with five bodyguards...
...dilemma for the Pentagon is that until it beefs up the 2,000-strong American ground force and authorizes it to take control of the manhunt, the U.S. military can only cajole the Afghan forces to do what it wants. In eastern Afghanistan, the U.S. has plied one bin Laden hunter, Haji Zaman, with $100 for each of his soldiers.

...Revving up the manhunt should get a bit easier. Opposition forces closed in on the Taliban's last stronghold at Kandahar last week. U.S. Marines were deployed on Afghan soil to seal off avenues of retreat. The fall of Kandahar?whether by surrender or defeat?will peel away the terrorists' last major base of support. But it still won't be enough to put an X through all the names on Tommy Franks' lists...
