KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Islamweb & News Agencies) - Two waves of U.S. jets raided the southern Afghan city of Kandahar early on Wednesday, dropping at least one huge bomb.``It was huge, the whole building was shaking,'' a Reuters reporter said.
The first planes roared through the sky before dawn, swiftly followed by the sound of small explosions and firing while the second set of jets flew over the city, the stronghold of Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar.
It was not possible to determine the location of the strike or any damage or casualties because the city, like other Afghan towns, is under curfew.
Kandahar has been the target of almost daily U.S. bombing raids in Washington's war on terrorism aimed at punishing the Taliban and flushing out Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden, prime suspect in the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
