STORYLINE:

As the American-led  attacks on Afghanistan progress into a second day , opposition Northern Alliance troops are bracing themselves to take advantage of any damage inflicted on Taliban positions.

Although the front line was calm on Tuesday, Alliance officers said they were waiting for the end of the U-S offensive before starting fresh attacks.

After years of fruitless fighting against Taliban forces, they now hope that with U-S assistance, they can turn the tide of the war in their favour.

Their determined efforts are to revenge the death of their late leader, Ahmed Shah Massoud who was assassinated by Taliban suicide bombers.

Meantime, villagers nearby sit around small hand-held radio in an effort to follow news of the attacks.

After 20 years of war these villagers are only interested in a return to peace and hope that the American intervention might bring it about.

The Ayar family is the wealthiest in the village - they own their own tractor - and their own radio.

Brothers, Hashim and Hassan, say they are glad the Americans have struck out at the Taliban and are hopeful that peace will bring renewed trade.
