3:30 am - Three former Taliban ministers surrendered to the new Afghan government. "Ministers of the Taliban and senior Taliban are coming one by one and surrendering and joining with us," stated a spokesman for the interim government. The whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar remained a mystery. The Pentagon announced yesterday that it planned to stop "chasing shadows" in searching for bin Laden and Omar, focusing instead on destroying remaining pockets of al Qaeda resistance.
