LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Turning now to Afghanistan today. There is a little more elbow room at Kandahar Airport. CNN's Bill Hemmer tells us all about that.</s>BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: The second shipment of detainees left late last night from here in Kandahar. This group larger than first group that set out last Thursday. 30 in total on Sunday night. That's a group 10 larger than the 20 that went out last Thursday. And again, security was stepped up once again. We saw Cobra gun ships rotating in the air. HumVees patrolled the perimeter where those shots were fired again last Thursday night. The end result was a fire fight that lasted here -- intense moments, really -- for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours last Thursday evening. All 30 detainees escorted by an heavily armed Marine or Army MP. Loaded one by one on board that C-17, sitting back to back and separated by a high seat back. Another armed guard then sat across from each detainee. A 20-hour flight to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. And once they arrive, the total there on the ground in Guantanamo, will be 50. Again, the Pentagon forbidding us to show pictures of the transfer, therefore we have to describe things in great detail right now as we see it on the ground here in Kandahar. Meanwhile, on the ground and in the air in eastern Afghanistan, our crew in the area right along that border of Pakistan and Afghanistan reports, again, intensified bombing. The third day, and they say today is the most intense yet. Our crew reporting a possibility of bunker-buster bombs on the ground. They feel the tremors, they say, six miles away. There was a large terrorist training camp in that location, describes as 30-40 acres underground and possibly four miles or larger above ground. The Pentagon has warned for some time the possibility of al Qaeda fighters trying to reassemble. Certainly the Pentagon is seeing something on the ground there. That's why the action so intense, at this point. Bill Hemmer. CNN, Kandahar, Afghanistan.
