AARON BROWN, CNN ANCHOR: Again, we have a new wave of attacks going on in Afghanistan. Matthew Chance is in the northern part of Afghanistan. I gather, Matthew, you can at least hear it if not see it. Fair enough?</s>MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Aaron, as a matter of fact, it's extremely quiet here at the moment on the front just north of Kabul, the Afghan capital. Earlier, there were some flashes of light in the sky, but we believe that they were positions, artillery positions of the Northern Alliance, the anti-Taliban group in this part of northern Afghanistan, firing their heavy artillery pieces toward Taliban positions across the front line north of Kabul. There are these reports, as you say, of -- of renewed U.S.-led attacks, not just toward Afghanistan, but on Kabul specifically. I have to say we're not seeing any evidence of that at all at this stage. We have night vision lens on the front of a videophone pointed in the direction of Kabul, and I think as you can see from the picture there there's not much light around at all. You usually get glows of light on the horizon that signify some kind of attack under way, but extremely dark at this stage. Visibility is very low, I have to say. There's a lot of wind about around this time of the day, at this point. That's blown up a lot of dust. There's a big dusty valley</s>BROWN: Matt, now much I have to say about that. I would suggest, it seems the right thing to all of our guys out there assigned, you know, we'll all do some reporting now to try and figure out what in fact is going on. I know you guys are all working the phones, and why don't I let you off this line so you can go ahead and do that. Thank you, Matthew Chance.
