BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Let's talk more about the search for Osama bin Laden and specifically the region of Tora Bora. CNN's Nic Robertson is there. A few moments ago, Nic filed this report, to bring us up to date.</s>NIC ROBERTSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Eastern Alliance commanders here say there are so many U.S. Special Forces working in these mountains that they cannot put an exact figure to how many there are. However, this appears to conflict with what we have seen today. We have seen two groups of what appear to be U.S. Special Forces packed up and moving off the mountain, each group with an off-road vehicle and several all terrain vehicles -- these are the four-wheel drive motor bike-type vehicles, for access into these really rugged mountains. All the Special Forces on those vehicles appear to have a lot of equipment with them. Although they were headed away from the mountain sides here, we cannot say for sure where they were going, whether it was away for good, or relocating to another area of the mountains. What we have seen in the last few weeks is that the Special Forces have been going into the caves in this area, have been searching inside those caves. In many cases the caves in the lower part of the mountain, containing ammunition that the Eastern Alliance fighters have taken away. Eastern Alliance fighters are still providing security on the mountain side, still preventing journalists getting free access further up into the mountains. And these Eastern Alliance fighters tell us that they have been told by U.S. Special Forces if they come across any al Qaeda bodies in the mountain, they are not to bury them, to call in the U.S. Special Forces, because there may be evidence, information, there about the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden or other key information about al Qaeda.
