I don't have a link to prove this, but our local
paper is reporting a [b]HUGE[/b] explosion 25
miles north of Kabul last night - bigger than
anything they've heard over there so far. Reports of a mushroom cloud 1,000 feet in the
air. (Our paper is online, but the frickin'
article isn't shown.) Add to that a report of
what "sounded like" a C-130 over Kandahar..

from article:
"KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CNN) -- A large explosion rattled the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar in southern Afghanistan early Wednesday as U.S.-led airstrikes reached the midpoint of their fourth week.
Earlier in the overnight hours, jet fighters could be heard roaring through the skies above the city. Explosions were heard and flashes could be seen on the northern horizon.
In addition, CNN's Nic Robertson reported hearing what he said sounded like C-130 transport aircraft flying low over the city. "
Sounds like we're starting to break out the
good stuff - at least I hope so.
Burn baby, Burn....
