  • Story Text: Thousands of Northern Alliance troops have moved
    towards the northern Afghan town of Jabal Seraj for a joint
    military exercise.

    Acting under loosely linked commanders, thousands of
    soldiers and hundreds of military vehicles converged near the
    town of Jabal Seraj, 70 kms north of Afghanistan's capital,
    Kabul on Sunday (November 4).

    Troops practised manoeuvring tanks and firing guns.

    Some watched the first plane land at a new airport
    facility opened on Sunday five kilometres from the location
    where the exercises took place.

    There is speculation that the military exercises have been
    called so that the Northern Alliance soldiers can prepare for
    possible advance towards the Afghan capital, Kabul.
