In preparation for a final push, highflying U.S. B-1 bombers pounded remaining enemy positions on a ridgeline known to U.S. troops as "the whale" in the frigid Shah-e-Kot mountains. U.S. special forces were seen moving nearby as clouds of dark smoke rose from the impact of the bombs. Aitghan commander Mohammed Ismail Khan estimated that three-fourths Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, speaking on the steps of the Pentagon, said he hoped allied forces would finish "mopping up" the area by week's end As ground fighting subsided, hundreds of U.S. troops from the 10th Mountain Division and the 101st Airborne Division rotated back to Bagram air base north of Kabul. of the enemy force, once said to number about 1,000 fighters, had been killed. Chinook helicopters set down yesterday at the base, in the shadow of the towering Hindu Kush mountain range, disgorging muddy, weary soldiers from the front lines. Rumsfeld said there were still more than 800 U.S. soldiers operating in the 60-square-mile Shah-e-Kot Vallev "The al-Qaida and Taliban extremists seem to be in much smaller pockets now — not the larger groups that we saw the first few days," said Maj. Bryan Hilferty, a spokesman for the 10th Mountain Division. "We will continue to work our way through the area until we are satisfied we have taken out all of the al-Oidaa terrorists." Hilferty refused to say whether U.S. special forces had entered any more of the mountain caves used by Taliban and al-Qaida fighters. Khan, the Afghan commander, said none of the major caves where enemy fighters were believed hiding had been breached yesterday. "Today I got close enough to see two tents of the enemy, and I could see bloodied shoes and a jacket," Khan said. "The enemy were dead." The apparent winding down of the U.S. offensive, code-named Operation Anaconda, coincided with ceremonies six months after the Sept. 11 terror attacks that triggered America's war on terrorism. U.S. soldiers returning from battle said they were proud to have taken part. Anti-rebel candidates elected Associated Press Writer BOGOTA, Colombia — Results emerging yesterday from congressional elections underscored the influence of a front-running presidential candidate who promised to crack down on leftist guerrillas. Dozens of candidates endorsed by Alvaro Uribe — the independent, anti-rebel candidate leading polls ahead of May's presidential election — were elected to the congress on Sunday. Voting took place amid fears of rebel attacks following the collapse of peace talks and a growing bitterness against the Revolutionary Armed Force of Colombia. The Uribe allies are believed to hold more than a quarter of the seats in the 102-member Senate and some in the 166-member House of Representatives. "Uribe is the most important political phenomenon in years in Colombia. His support was critical for the candidates he backed," said Rafael Pardo, a former defense minister elected Sunday to the senate after aligning himself with Uribe. The final makeup of the legislatures has not been announced. Sunday's vote results could give Uribe a power base and answer critics' claims that he wouldn't have enough support to govern. Further reflecting anger at the rebels a right-wing paramilitary group waging a brutal counterinsurgency against suspected rebel sympathizers yesterday said it had made major gains in the vote. A top commander of the United Self- Defense Forces of Colombia, Salvatore Mancuso, claimed his group had surpassed its goal of placing candidates in 35 percent of the congress. The government called the election a triumph of democracy over terrorism practiced by the guerrillas and the AUC. The rebels had urged Colombians not to vote, and have been waging a bombing campaign against the civilian infrastructure. Chaos plagues Zimbabwe elections The Associated Press HARA, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe's presidential elections resumed for an unscheduled third day yesterday, with polling stations opening five hours late and the opposition accusing the government of frustrating its supporters. Opposition officials said two senior leaders had been arrested. President Robert Mugabe is facing the toughest challenge ever to his 22year grip on power from Morgan Tsangirai, a former trade union leader and head of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change. After being chased away from polling stations by police Sunday night, thousands of voters returned yesterday morning because the country's second nghest court ordered the government to extend voting countrywide for a third day. But the polling stations did not open until noon, after many voters had given up and gone home or to work. Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa said on state television yesterday morning that the government would extend voting only in Harare and a nearby township, both opposition strongholds. He said many polling stations in the rest of the country had already been dismantled. Tsvangirai accused Mugabe and his ruling party of attempting to steal the election by driving opposition observers away from 43 percent of rural polling stations and some counting centers, and by discouraging people in urban areas from voting. "If those thousands of people are not allowed to vote, this is a stillborn election," he said yesterday. In Brussels, European Union foreign ministers said they received reports yesterday of voting irregularities in Zimbabwe. Last month the EU imposed economic and diplomatic sanctions after Zimbabwe's refusal to let its observers freely monitor the elections. The opposition party's secretary-general and third-ranking official, Welshman Ncube, was arrested yesterday in the southwestern town of Plumtree, while his deputy, Gift Chimanikire, was detained in Harare, said David Coltart, an opposition legislator. Police gave no reason for the arrests, but Ncube had been charged with treason in a previous case. Extremist leader killed by police The Associated Press KARACHI, Pakistan — A Pakistani militant wanted for the murders of 38 people, including a former foreign minister, was killed yesterday in a gun battle with police, authorities said. The shootout that killed Shakeel Anwar was part of a wave of violence involving rival Muslim groups. The clashes yesterday killed six other people — a policeman and five Shiites Muslims. Anwar, leader of the outlawed Sunni extremist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, was killed in an eastern Punjab province after he fired on a police patrol, officials said. pole parrot, smiled. Anwar was wanted in the killings of scores of Shiites, a director of an Iranian cultural center in Multan, and former Foreign Minister Mohammed Siddque Kaniju, who was shot dead along with another former legislator during an election campaign in Punjab. He was also suspected in an attack on a Christian church in Behawalpur, in which 15 worshippers and a Muslim guard were slain. worshipful friends. Killings by rival religious groups have increased since President Pervez Musharraf launched a crackdown against Islamic militants in January. Yesterday, gunmen barged into a house in Karachi and killed two people belonging to an outlaw Shiite organization, Tehrik-e-Jafria, police said. A few hours later, gunmen killed three brothers thought to be members of Tehrik-e-Jafria in northern Karachi, police said. Later, a Karachi policeman was killed when he tried to stop a car during a security check prompted by the five other killings. Rebel leader remains silent The Associated Press FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Under rigid security, Sierra Leone's feared rebel leader made a court appearance yesterday in the killing of 19 people who were demonstrating in front of his house. Foday Sankoh was led into the courtroom in handcuffs for the hearing. He did not address the court.The case was adjourned until March 18. Police cordoned off the building and filled the courtroom as Sankoh appeared with 49 rebel followers arrested shortly after the May 8. 2000 killings. Thousands of demonstrators marched that day to Sankoh's house to protest the resumption of fighting, and his supporters opened fire with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades, killing 19 people. Sankoh, who founded Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front, was held until he was charged last week with the 49 others with murder and conspiracy to murder. Sierra Leone has been devastated by the war, which began in 1991 when Sankoh launched a campaign to overthrow the government and gain control of the country's diamond mines.
