Devastating attacks on bases controlled by Osama bin 
Laden are set to be launched in the next 48 hours as 
part of a tightly focused military operation approved 
by US President George Bush and backed by Britain. 
The strategy, which is a victory for pragmatists in 
both Britain and America, is designed to kill bin Laden 
and his forces, and will be launched in tandem with 
strikes against air and ground forces of the Taliban 
regime supporting him. 

The operation, which British and US sources say could 
be launched as early as today, would begin with air 
and missile strikes to destroy the Taliban's 
20-aircraft air force, remove anti-aircraft missile 
batteries, and destroy Taliban tanks and other armour.
