Tora Bora stand-off continues

American and British commandos, together with Afghan troops, continue to surround a mountain cave in eastern Afghanistan where they believe Osama bin Laden is hiding.

US warplanes also continue to bomb the Tora Bora cave network as stubborn al-Qaida fighters defend the region.

US General, Tommy Franks says the US and Afghan forces have the cave "contained" and could continue a stand-off longer than al-Qaida.
