4:30 pm - U.S. airstrikes concentrated on long-suspected al Qaeda stronghold near the Pakistani border town of Miram Shah in the Paktia province according to a Pentagon spokesman.

"There are obviously still al Qaeda and pro-Taliban that are loose there, and we're continuing to find them, and we're continuing to strike their equipment as we've found them," stated Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem. [See: U.S.-led strikes target al Qaeda haven (CNN)]
