War chief cites progress in Afghan battle
Gen. Tommy Franks on ABC says progress against al Qaida in Afghanistan continues. He notes no sign of Osama bin Laden or other top leaders yet and rejects the notion the fight near Gardez is winding down. About 200 fighters remain, with 500 to 800 killed in nine days as enemy forces hunker down and fresh troops rotate in. Military officials say the battle, Operation Anaconda, is shifting as weather improves and forces reposition. Canadian troops also moved forward to support operations near Kandahar.
