During the rally in Kabul, parts of the crowd entered the abandoned US embassy compound and set fire to about five vehicles. Taliban officials moved the crowd out of the compound, fearing they might burn down the chancellery - which the United States abandoned in 1988. The protest appears to be the largest held in Kabul since the US threatened to attack Afghanistan to capture or kill Osama bin Laden, and to destroy his training camps. "Long live Osama. Down with America," the crowd chanted. "Anyone who supports America is a traitor." Meanwhile, heavy fighting has been reported in the rugged mountains of northern Afghanistan, where the opposition alliance is battling Taliban troops. Alliance spokesman Mohammed Ashraf Nadeem says both sides used artillery, rocket launchers, tanks and machine guns, but that neither side had taken over new territory. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_408219.html _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
