American planes Friday again rained down bombs on Afghanistan-but this
day Taliban forces claimed a victory.
They captured and executed Abdul Haq.
Haq-a friend to the United States and a military commander who fought
the Soviets had gone from Pakistan to Taliban territory to work on a
peace plan.
This was Haq-three weeks ago.
(SOT ABDUL HAQ/OCTOBER 6TH)
NO, IM COMING AGAIN, I AM NOT COMING TO FIGHT TO TAKE A GUN AND KILL MY
PEOPLE, I AM COMING HERE TO COORDINATE AND REMOVE SOME MISUNDERSTANDING.
From the death of a military leader on the front lines of Afghanistan to
the funeral of a U-S postal worker who unwittingly found himself in the
crosshairs of the Anthrax war.
Thomas Morris was laid to rest in Washington after inhaling the bacteria.
Post offices from Washington and New Jersey have been shut down after
traces of Anthrax were found-but in New York a facility where four
sorting machines like these were found to be contaminated-the building
remains open.
(SOT WILLIAM SMITH/NY POSTAL WORKERS UNION PRESIDENT)
IT IS RIGHT FOR THEM TO CLOSE THAT BUILDING DOWN, DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO
DO, CLEAN IT OUT AND MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE.
The Postal Union is suing to shut it down. The post office says its
safe.
With Anthrax now apparently the lethal weapon for terrorists on
American soil President Bush Friday signed into law an anti-terrorism
inititiative giving police much broader power.
(BUSH )
TODAY WE TAKE AN ESSENTIAL STEP FIGHT A PRESENT DANGER.
(STANDUP: DREW LEVINSON )
The new law allows police unprecedented power to eavesdrop, search,
seize and detain possible terrorists.
Civil libertarians argue people are innocent until prooven guilty.
