New US Led Offensive in Tora Bora

Hundreds of US and Afgan soldiers have returned to launch a new attack on the last known hideout of the fugitive al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden. They have launched an air and ground assault in the Tora Bora region, near the border with Pakistan. A US military spokeswoman said the mountainous terrain was an ideal environment to conceal militant bases. Tora Bora was the scene of a failed major US operation to capture Osama Bin Laden in 2001.
