BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: This hour, another reminder what a dangerous place it is and how far it has to go to become more and more safe. Martin Savidge at the airbase in Kandahar filed this report a few moments ago. Here's Martin.</s>MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: We begin here in Kandahar tonight with unfortunate news, not about any U.S. military personnel, but about an Afghani citizen. A U.S. patrol earlier on today working about three miles away from the Kandahar Airport came across an Afghani man who was seriously wounded. From all appearance, it's looked like he had stepped on a land mine. They attempted CPR, and called in additional medical help, but the man died anyway. Kandahar, by the way, is one of the most heavily mined cities in all the world. Meanwhile, here at Camp Kandahar, now officially the hands of the 101st airborne, the buildup of the 101st goes on, the sounds of aircraft continue through the night. Now they're bringing in the heavy equipment forces. These are the people that are willing to work to extend the runway, taking it from roughly 8,000 feet, up to about 10,500, significant, because then it means that just any aircraft that flies can come here, bringing in supplies, and bringing in eventually the humanitarian aide. They are also making renovations to the airport itself, trying to improve living conditions, not only for the soldiers that are here, but eventually, it will be a better airport for the Afghani citizens when they once more call it their own.
