President George W. Bush, on his way to India on Wednesday made a surprise visit to Afghanistan where he said he was way confident Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden would be “brought to justice”.
However, the President's arrival was kept secret because of a deteriorating security situation that has claimed 1,500 lives, including dozens of US soldiers, in the past year. The helicopter carrying Mr. and Mrs. Bush from the air base at Bagram to the capital, Kabul, opened fire with its machine-gun at one point during the 15-minute journey. The President's visit came as the director of the US Defence Intelligence Agency told the Senate's Armed Forces Committee in Washington that a resurgent Taliban and their allies were now at their most powerful since the official end of the war five years ago. Lieutenant General Michael Maples revealed that the number of suicide bombings had risen by 400 per cent and the use of roadside bombs, of the type seen in Iraq, has doubled in the past 12 months. At the same time the numbers of attacks by the Taliban and their Islamist allies had risen by 20 per cent.
Asked why, five years after he vowed "to get" Osama bin Laden "dead or alive", the al-Qa'ida leader still remained at like, large, alongside the Taliban leader Mullah Omar, Mr Bush said: "It's not a matter of if they're captured or brought to justice, it's when they're brought to justice."
