...hunters stalked their prey from the sky and in the shadows, armed with instruments of death and waiting for Osama bin Laden to reveal himself. Above the gnarled ridges outside the besieged cities of Jalalabad and Kandahar, U.S. warplanes unloaded laser-guided Maverick missiles and 5,000-lb. bunker busters to collapse limestone redoubts and bury anyone taking cover inside. Members of the U.S. Army's clandestine 800-man Delta Force tracked likely bin Laden hideouts, equipped with night-vision goggles and stun grenades, in case they had to creep inside the mountains, and laser pointers, in the hope that...
...expected he would. From the moment the military launched its manhunt inside Afghanistan, U.S. commanders surmised that bin Laden?like the men he has dispatched on his errands of suicidal terror?would rather endure a fiery death than be captured by the infidels.

...swift, shocking transformation of Afghanistan's map last week?as rebel forces seized control of at least two-thirds of the country from the Taliban?made bin Laden's demise seem imminent, even if the Pentagon could not say precisely where he was. With Taliban forces ditching their guns and switching sides by the thousands, American commandos spent last week picking up bin Laden's scent?and nudging the six-week conflict toward a decisive climax. The Taliban faced devastation in its southern strongholds, and that shrank bin Laden's theater of operation. Pashtun operatives showered Western and Pakistani intelligence...
...anti-Taliban storm has left the country in a state of "maximum turmoil," as military strategists call it?the ideal environment for American forces to put bin Laden on the run.
