((American forces kept up the aerial barrage inside Afghanistan from north to south.
Near the strategic city of Mazar e Sharif, anti-Taliban forces started the ground offensive Washington has been waiting for.
Victory is far from certain - the weather is closing in, and the lightly-armed Alliance is in some cases, using cavalry charges on horseback, to face Taliban tank armor. But Pentagon officials say the Alliance is making slow progress.
In other welcome news for the US coalition, Pakistan followed its shutdown of the Taliban ambassador's daily briefings here...by closing the Taliban's Karachi consulate - it's part of the diplomatic squeeze requested by U.S. officials.
But there's a price for Pakistan's compliance - on his way to a UN briefing in New York, Pakistan's president said he'd ask President Bush to halt the bombing during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.

'The continuation of the operation during the month of Ramadan will have its negative fallout in the entire Muslim world .'

(Afghan civilian/damage/hospitals)
The campaign is being perceived as an attack on poor, innocent Afghan people, he said, even though he said that's not what's actually happening.

(on camera) President Musharraf's words may be unwelcome in Washington -
but it's just the message needed to silence those here, who've accused him of doing America's bidding.
By establishing himself as his own man, diplomats here say, President Musharraf safeguards his rule, and thereby, the lynchpin in Washington's coalition against the Taliban.

A three-car pileup on Route 220 today- It resulted in Franklin County's 21st traffic fatality of the year...
That's the highest number of fatal car wrecks the county has EVER had...

Franklin County ranks SEVENTH in the state for fatal crashes.
But what makes it unique is that it's the only RURAL area in the top eight to experience so many of them.
That places Franklin County in the company of Richmond, Norfolk and Fairfax County.
Officials are puzzled over why this is happening so much in a large county with such a small population.
