ANDERSON COOPER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Heavy U.S. bombing continues early this morning in Eastern Afghanistan. And now 30 more Al Qaeda and Taliban unlawful combatants are on their way to camp x-ray in Cuba. They left Kandahar Airport under tight security last night and will be joining the 20 detainees who arrived there on Friday.

CNN's Bill Hemmer is live in Kandahar with the latest -- Bill?

BILL HEMMER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anderson, good evening once again from Kandahar.

We saw the second group leave late last night, again, the group of 30, 10 more than the first group (AUDIO GAP) last Thursday night and anticipated here...

COOPER: OK, obviously we're having some audio problems with Bill Hemmer. We'll try to get back to him in Kandahar a little bit later on.
