Bombings in Afghanistan reported to be successful
The Associated Press
ABOARD THE USS ENTERPRISE — U.S. commanders yesterday reviewed their bombing raids on Afghanistan, showing video clips of battle damage taken by infrared cameras aboard F-14 and F/A-18 fighters. The runs had a "very high success rate," they said.
In Washington, Pentagon officials said the attacks yesterday, the second day of raids, included five long-range bombers, including a pair of B-2 stealth bombers and three B-1B's. They joined 10 strike planes launched from aircraft carriers in the Arabian Sea in sending bombs and missiles at air defense and other military targets across Afghanistan. Two U.S. naval vessels and one submarine launched 15 Tomahawk cruise missiles.
The pilots, who had flown about 70 sorties Sunday in the first, 15-hour wave of military operations, reloaded precision-guided bombs late yesterday and headed back out after darkness fell. Every few minutes well into
this morning, another catapulted off the flight deck.
Pilots and commanding officers spoke of several direct hits on Sunday, with the captain of the USS Enterprise saying the initial assessment was "a very high success rate in hitting our targets." Those included an anti-aircraft missile storage facility and a terrorist training camp in southern Afghanistan, according to U.S. forces.
The military made "extraordinary efforts" to limit collateral damage, the admiral told reporters yesterday.
The U.S. military, describing the battle as unique from past wars, is keeping security extraordinarily tight, not allowing any members of the U.S. forces to be fully identified; some can be identified by first name only.
The captain of the USS Enterprise said the infrared camera images showed a "very high success rate in hitting our targets," with one strike deeply penetrating an underground target that
he would not reveal. The captain said the pilot involved in that strike told him the hillside opened up with small arms fire immediately afterward.
Referring to another image, he said it showed the bombing of an anti-aircraft missile storage site. The initial explosion was followed by a second explosion that sent at least one missile from the site into the air.
The captain said return fire also came in the form of one SA3 and shoulder-fired unguided missiles, which he described as "stupid missiles."
The captain of the USS Philippine Sea, a guided missile cruiser with the Enterprise battle group that fired four Tomahawk missiles on Sunday night, said "things went pretty smoothly."
"As tar as what's ahead, I think the military action last night created a more favorable condition to pursue terrorists, at the same time allowing humanitarian aid to the Afghan people," the Philippine Sea captain said.
