U.S. warplanes launched air raids on Taliban front-line positions north of the Afghan capital of Kabul on Tuesday for the second consecutive day, reports reaching in Islamabad said Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Qatar-based al-Jazeera Satellite Television reported that the U.S. warplanes Tuesday also pounded targets in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, which is known as the Taliban stronghold.
Earlier in the day, U.S. warplanes launched two rounds of air raids on the Afghan capital of Kabul, one just after midnight and the other at dawn.
