Residents of Kabul report that the bombing was the heaviest yet.
Anti- aircraft fire blazed away for much of last night.
Jets flew over the capital as bombs and missiles struck at targets around the city, including the airport and near a residential area.

Today marks the one-month anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York and the Pentagon.
President Bush plans to be at the Pentagon this morning to honor the nearly 190 people who died in that attack.
He'll also honor the military personnel now waging the war against terrorism.
In New York, the clean-up effort continues at the site of the World Trade Center, where more than five thousand people lost their lives.

therefore we should finish this war very quickly.
