KABUL, Afghanistan (news - web sites) (AP) - Heavy explosions were heard from around Kabul's airport, and Taliban anti-aircraft batteries opened fire on high-flying jets over the Afghan capital Wednesday in the fourth night of the U.S.-led air campaign. Taliban gunners opened fire from at least three positions near the center of Kabul. Most of the firing appeared to be from the west of the city around Rishkore and Kargah - both areas where Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) is believed to have terrorist training camps. Within minutes, anti-aircraft fire appeared to be stepping up from every direction and the roar of a number of jets could be heard overhead. Heavy explosions, presumably bombs or missiles, could be heard from the area of the Kabul airport. They shook windows and buildings in a wide area. It appeared that a large number of jets were flying toward the west of the city, where the Darulaman Palace and Rishkore are located. In Islamabad, Pakistan, the private Afghan Islamic Press reported explosions in Shamshaad, a Taliban military base about four miles from the Pakistan border. The agency, quoting Afghan sources, said five or six explosions were heard near the base and flames could be seen rising in the night sky. Targets in and around Kabul were struck in the first two nights of the U.S.-led air campaign, launched on Sunday. On Tuesday night, a deafening new barrage of anti-aircraft fire opened up, but there were no strikes in the city. Residents of a village 20 miles outside Kabul, however, said a missile hit near there, causing some injuries. Strikes late Tuesday and early Wednesday targeted the cities of Kandahar and Herat.
