Eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad under attack

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad is under attack, CNN has reported.

The channel said on Sunday that it had heard by telephone that the target appeared to be the airport near the city.

Northern Alliance Defence Minister Dr Abdullah Abdullah said at least three training camps near Jalalabad may have been hit.

The attack came around 15 minutes after the capital, Kabul, and the southern city of Kandahar were also hit by air raids.

U.S. President George W. Bush confirmed that the military operation against Osama bin Laden and his Afghan Taliban protectors was under way.
