|| U.S. Says Anti-Taliban Mounted Forces Attack Tanks

||

|| By Deborah Zabarenko

||

|| WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Anti-Taliban forces on horseback attacked

|| tanks in northern Afghanistan (news - web sites) as U.S. airstrikes

|| hit caves and vehicles and fighting raged near the key crossroads

|| city of Mazar-i-Sharif, the Pentagon (news - web sites) said on

|| Wednesday.

C'est magnifique mais ce n'est pas la guerre. I bet this is pure PR. The tanks were either out of ammo, or buried & pointing the wrong way.
