President Bush has ordered a military operation in Afghanistan as a new front in the United States' operation to combat terrorism. There were reports of loud explosions and anti-aircraft fire in the Afghan capital Kabul and the city of Kandahar, the main stronghold of the ruling Taleban. In an address to the nation, Mr Bush said strikes were taking place against training camps and military installations of the al-Qaeda network in Afghanistan, and that they had been carefully targetted. The Taleban, he said, would "pay the price" for sheltering terrorists. "In this conflict there is no neutral ground, there can be no peace in a world of terror...," he said. "We did not ask for this mission but we will fulfil it." UK Prime Minister Tony Blair is also due to speak shortly. Earlier, the Taleban says it has sent 8,000 troops to its border with Uzbekistan, which has given the US access to an air base for its anti-terrorism campaign. The US administration has repeatedly rejected Taleban offers to bargain over the fate of its guest, Saudi-born militant Osama Bin Laden.
