[0:22] War on terror. The top Al-Qaeda
[0:24] commander who planned September 11th,
[0:26] believed to be dead tonight, killed in a
[0:28] US attack as the news tightens around
[0:31] Osama bin Laden.
[0:33] Breach of security. More airline
[0:36] security chaos as Atlanta's airport was
[0:38] shut down. Congress did pass the new
[0:41] airline security law, but tonight a
[0:42] reality check, will anything work?
[0:46] Women of the veil. The harsh truth about
[0:49] women in Afghanistan and what's changed
[0:51] almost overnight. Plus, the first lady
[0:53] speaks out against the Taliban's
[0:55] oppression of women.
[0:57] And coming home, those two American aid
[1:00] workers describe their imprisonment and
[1:02] astonishing rescue tonight in their own
[1:05] words.

[1:12] York, this is NBC Nightly News with Tom
[1:16] Brokaw.
[1:17] Good evening. Tonight, the war in
[1:19] Afghanistan apparently continues to go
[1:21] very well for the US and its allies as
[1:24] the struggle at home to improve airline
[1:26] security remains a stop-and-go process.
[1:29] There was another major breakdown today.
[1:32] We're going to begin tonight with the
[1:33] shooting war, which does now involve
[1:35] more American ground troops and what
[1:38] appears to be a significant victory for
[1:39] the US, the death of one of Osama bin
[1:42] Laden's chief strategist. Let's go now
[1:44] to NBC's Jim Miklaszewski, who's at his
[1:46] Pentagon post again tonight. Jim.
[1:49] Tom, when American warplanes bombed
[1:50] Kabul this week, it was the closest hit
[1:53] yet to Osama bin Laden.
[1:55] Armed with precision-guided bombs and
[1:57] the latest intelligence, Navy warplanes
[1:59] like these attacked a building in Kabul
