LONDON, England -- CNN
Thirty targets across Afghanistan were hit by U.S. and British forces in the first anti-terror military action operation against the Taliban.

Admiral Michael Boyce, chief of the UK defence staff, said three targets were in Kabul, four were near inhabited areas and the other 23 were in remote, uninhabited areas.

It was the first military action since the U.S.-declared war on terror launched in the wake of the suicide hijackings that destroyed the World Trade Center and damaged The Pentagon.
