U.S. Forces Kill Four in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - U.S.-led troops mounted overnight raids on suspected al-Qaida compounds in eastern Afghanistan, killing four people and detaining several others, officials said Sunday.

The U.S. military said ``several Arab fighters'' were among the suspects killed or detained in the operation in Nangarhar province, although a local official said only Afghans survived.

News of the operation came as the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan told The Associated Press that al-Qaida suspects continued to slip across the nearby Pakistani border.

The overnight attack targeted several compounds that ``had clear connections to al-Qaida,'' the military said in a statement.

1. So was Osama bin Laden among them?
Silly me. I read all of the story. Looks like the world's greatest terrorist mastermind got away again.
