Bush is expect ed to sign the bill by week’s end. ♦ Marine Corps commandant Gen. James Jones said the Marines’ top special operations unit is ready to deploy to Afghanistan on six hours’ notice. He spoke aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Arabian Sea. ♦ U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft warned suspected terror ists that authorities will use every law and immigration violation to put them behind bars and to inter cept their communications, even unopened electronic and voice mail. Attacks Wednesday and Thursday marked the heaviest U.S. bombing yet in the front line area north of Kabul. Even so, op position officials urged Washington to step up the strikes. “If America wants to finish off terrorism and the Taliban in Afghanistan, they must bring in ground troops,” said Ezatullah, leader of a small group of opposi tion fighters north of Kabul. Elsewhere, the Taliban said a U.S. bomb struck a bus early Thursday in the southern city of Kandahar, killing at least 10 civil ians in a fiery explosion. The re port also could not be indepen dently confirmed. Diplomats, regional leaders and Afghans worked Thursday to find a formula for governing this war-ravaged country after the Taliban falls. Nearly 1,000 Afghans — many of them from influential south ern tribes — approved a resolu tion in Peshawar, Pakistan, call ing on the country’s former king, Mohammad Zaher Shah, to help form a multiethnic government. They also demanded that “those f&reigners who add more to our miseries” leave the coun try - a reference to bin Laden and his al-Qaida group. The attacks Thursday north of Kabul were most intense along the Shomali Plain, where Taliban fighters and northern alliance forces face one another from rooftops barely 50 yards apart. As the jets struck, two orange fire balls billowed up and a blaze sparked by one of the bombs raced up a foothill. Tracer bullets could be seen racing into the sky. A Taliban anti-aircraft missile barely missed two U.S. jets. While the jets pounded Taliban positions from the air, northern alliance fighters on the ground fired rockets onto hilltop Taliban positions. Opposition fighters said they had pulled back about a half mile from their front line to avoid being caught in the U.S. fire. The accelerated attacks have given new urgency to diplomatic efforts to find a formula for gov erning Afghanistan in a post Taliban era. Pakistan, a key Muslim ally in the U.S.-led anti terrorism campaign, fears that if the opposition seizes Kabul, they would not be Accepted by the ma jority Pashtun population. The opposition is dominated by minority Tajiks and Uzbeks, and includes groups who fought each other during the four years it ruled Afghanistan, destroying much of Kabul and killing an es timated 50,000 people. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal paid a visit to Pakistan on Thursday to discuss the Afghan crisis with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. Speaking at a news conference in the opposition-held town of Jabal Saraj, the exiled govern ment’s foreign minister, Abdullah, acknowledged the need for a broad-based government. Abdullah claimed his forces were ready to move on Kabul but were willing to allow time for a po litical agreement among “as many Afghan groupings as possible.” He said he understood the frus tration of opposition commanders. “So far the level of pressure on the Taliban is not such that we should expect them to be demor alized, to lay down their arms and run away. I don’t believe there is such pressure on them,” Abdullah said.
