Good Afternoon, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
A U-S official confirms the attacks are under way for a THIRD straight night in Afghanistan.
The senior official, however, is not identifying the latest targets.
These attacks follow a one-two punch against the Taliban that included the first daytime attack since the American-led assault began on Sunday.
A Taliban soldier in Kandahar reports the Americans are hitting targets near that city-- which is the headquarters of the Taliban.
Meanwhile, a senior U-S defense official says the unpredictable attacks are part of an ongoing effort to keep Taliban leaders "on their toes."
Aleen Sirgany is in Washington this afternoon, and joins us now with the latest.
