All of the American networks obviously new that something was going to happen this weekend. Tom Brokaw (NBC) was on air immediately, so was Dan Rather (CBS) and Peter Jennings (ABC). Aaron Brown, aparrently the senior anchor at CNN now, was on in minutes - from Atlanta (he's usually in New York). Brian Williams, the senior presenter at MSNBC, was on within an hour.

Well done to ITN News Channel ... they got pictures of Osama bin Laden very quickly ... CNBC were running them with a translation.
Still not seen them on SKY or News 24.
I notice Gavin is now on N24

All of the American networks (except Fox News Channel) had this on right away. I can't believe this guy. He makes my skin crawl - to say the least. He's the devil incarnate.

2nd wave of attacks has begun


We are receiving reports of a second wave of attacks on Afghanistan.

It is understood the city of Kandahar is being targeted.

CNN believes the raids are on the headquarters of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar.

Initial reports say the raids are heavier than the first attacks.

Buildings near the home of Mohammed Omar are thought to have been destroyed.

A military base has also been hit and anti-aircraft fire has been seen in the skies above the city.

We will bring you more details as we get them

Hardly surprising to see Kay Burley and JT on Sky© Have News 24 gone on to BBC 2 or not? Can't see the point now, everything has happened, even the US networks are starting to talk about what is going to happen tomorrow©

BTW - OT, I know, but we're supposed to see the new Thames logo after this Pop programme on ITV1© My god this Pop programme is tacky, about a bloke cashing in on his brother's death© Ugh©

Back to the 'war' then© The 24 hour channels will just be going with this for the rest of the evening©

Ohh that Thames logo is crap©
