[0:04] This is CNN.
[0:10] It was an incredible.
[0:12] We will not waver. We will not tire. We
[0:15] will not falter and we will not fail.
[0:19] This is a battle with only one outcome.
[0:24] Hello and welcome to you. I'm Michael
[0:26] Holmes at the CNN Center. This is World
[0:28] News. Let's begin with the latest in the
[0:30] war on terror. The Northern Alliance
[0:32] saying its forces are extending their
[0:34] advantage in northern Afghanistan. Wire
[0:37] reports say one group led by a veteran
[0:39] opposition commander have pushed to the
[0:42] outskirts of the western city of Harat.
[0:44] A spokesman for the group says they are
[0:46] preparing for an attack on the city
[0:48] perhaps beginning Monday. The group is
[0:51] led by the city's former governor
[0:53] Ishmael Khn who drove who the Taliban
[0:55] drove from the city in 1995.
[0:58] The Northern Alliance also says it has
[1:00] taken control of several Taliban areas
[1:02] in Afghanistan and troops and tanks are
[1:05] reportedly moving towards Taliban front
[1:08] lines north of Carbal, the capital. The
[1:11] movement comes as US war plananes launch
[1:13] new air strikes on Taliban positions in
[1:16] the region early Monday. That follows a
[1:18] heavy overnight bombardment on a road
[1:20] leading to Carbell. Now, despite the
[1:23] increased movement of the alliance
[1:25] forces in the area, the United States
[1:27] and Pakistan say they want the Northern
[1:30] Alliance to hold off trying to actually
[1:32] take Carbell. They fear an early attack
[1:34] on the capital could undermine efforts
[1:36] to build a coalition government.
[1:38] Alliance Foreign Minister Abdullah
[1:40] Abdullah says his forces want to avoid
[1:42] the violence that racked Kabell in the
[1:45] 1990s
