[0:23] Where is Osama bin Laden today? Where is
[0:25] Mullah Omar?
[0:27] It depends on who you talk to.
[0:30] We'll take a closer look tonight at the
[0:31] city identified as the fattest in
[0:34] America
[0:35] for the second year in a row.

[0:47] >> From ABC News world headquarters in New
[0:50] York,
[0:51] this is World News Tonight with Peter
[0:54] Jennings.
[0:55] >> Good evening, everyone. It says a lot
[0:56] about how the Afghanistan campaign has

[1:01] before an American soldier
[1:03] was killed by the enemy. Today, a member
[1:05] of the special forces died in an ambush
[1:08] near the border with Pakistan. A CIA
[1:10] agent with him was badly wounded. ABC's
[1:13] Martha Raddatz is at the Pentagon this
[1:15] evening. Martha, do we know who killed
[1:17] him?
[1:18] >> The US has no idea at this point, Peter,
[1:20] who killed him. They don't know whether
[1:21] it was al-Qaeda forces, they don't know
[1:23] whether it was Taliban forces, or maybe
[1:25] just local bandits. But this was all
[1:27] over very quickly.
[1:30] It occurred in Eastern Afghanistan. The
[1:33] Green Beret and CIA officer were on
[1:35] foot, just leaving a meeting with local
[1:37] tribal leaders.
[1:39] >> What I know is that it there was an
[1:41] exchange of small arms fire.
[1:43] Um that um
[1:45] that this American serviceman was doing
[1:47] his job.
[1:48] Um that he was out for the purpose of
[1:51] workin
