US and UK Forces Strike against Afghanistan
Ultimatum not met

On Sunday October 7th around 16:00 hour GMT the United States and UK forces started firing  on targets in Afghanistan.

In a television address President Bush announced the reprisal attacks to the American people. 

More than two weeks ago, I gave Taliban leaders a series of clear and specific demands:  Close terrorist training camps; hand over leaders of the al Qaeda network; and return all foreign nationals, including American citizens, unjustly detained in your country.  
None of these demands were met.  And now the Taliban will pay a price.  By destroying camps and disrupting communications, we will make it more difficult for the terror network to train new recruits and coordinate their evil plans.
