COMMENTS: Cross-Border Battlefield Videotape
Besides Mexico and its influenza, the only other overseas dateline was Pakistan. CBS' Lara Logan was in Islamabad, where she obtained battlefield videotape from Taliban guerrillas based in Pakistan's Dir District. They showed a cross-border raid into Afghanistan's Kunar Province where they fired successfully on a Chinook helicopter and a HumVee operated by the United States military and got close enough to a Medevac helicopter to show GI casualties "being lifted to safety." The Pakistani military told Logan that "right now" a major operation against the Taliban in Dir is underway. "For now," Logan reported, "the United States is keeping its forces on the Afghan side of the border, unsure of how committed Pakistan really is to this fight."
