Attacks on U.S. Forces Continue in Afghanistan: Pentagon ======================================== Xinhuanet 2002-04-25 11:12:39 ����WASHINGTON, April 24 (Xinhuanet) -- United States forces continue to encounter sporadic attacks in eastern Afghanistan, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. John Rosa said on Wednesday. ����It is a challenge to figure out who is behind the attacks, Rosatold reporters at a Pentagon news briefing. "There are so many weapons, anybody could get their hands on them. ����"It could be factional. It could be criminal activity. Or it could be former Taliban and al Qaeda," Rosa said. ����In some cases, the attacks may not even be aimed at U.S. and coalition forces. "It's hard to tell who they're targeting," he said. ����"If we say from up here what we think is important in what we're seeing, it's an obvious counter for them. But there are bad people in that part of eastern Afghanistan. We've said that all along," Rosa said. ����"These types of spurious attacks lead to instability, so training the Afghan national army, which is due to begin in the future, is key to our existence there," he added.
