CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: Meanwhile, more of the al Qaeda fighters who have been captured are now in custody at the airport in Kandahar. At the same time, the U.S. Army is moving in to take that post over from the Marines, and CNN's Bill Hemmer is watching all the activity, and here's his latest report.</s>BILL HEMMER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It was another loud and long night last night when 26 different aircraft landed here at the Kandahar airport. Clearly, the initial signs of a next phase for the U.S. military overseas. We do anticipate sometime in mid-January for the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Air Force to take control of this airport away from the U.S. Marines. Personnel from the Air Force and Army spotted on the ground, but by and large, those numbers are low, but the supply continues on a high rate on a daily and nightly basis. As for the detainees, another group of 25 were brought in late last night. Sources on the ground indicate that this group came from the same area that the group came from on Thursday, along that same Afghanistan-Pakistan border area. We're told that some are willing to talk, but all are -- quote -- "scared to death," according to one agent working here on the ground. As for the ultimate question, though, the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, they say that's still is an outstanding issue, and many are not willing to talk about it. However, based on the al Qaeda terror network that is said to extend into 60 different countries around the world, they say quite a few come from a number of those countries, but ultimately, agents are looking for that big question: Where is bin Laden? Right now, they simply do not know. With the U.S. Marines in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Bill Hemmer, CNN, reporting.
