LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: We are tracking the search for the top terror suspects and the latest on detainees in Afghanistan.

Bill Hemmer checks in now live from Kandahar. He's got a look at what's coming up this hour -- Bill.

BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Hey, Leon -- thanks.

I'll let you know in a minute here what some of the special forces, specifically the Green Berets, are telling me here at the airport; this in regard to the hunt for Mullah Mohammed Omar, as well as the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Some of them are quite frustrated. We'll tell you why in a moment here.

Also, you know, we talked about the pockets of resistance, Leon. Another one showed up last night -- late last night in central Kandahar. A fire fight ensued. We'll let you know how that turned out in a moment here in Kandahar -- Leon, back to you now in Atlanta.

HARRIS: All right. You've got it -- thanks, Bill.
