US may intervene elsewhere in war on terror: Bush 


WASHINGTON: US forces will remain in Afghanistan as long as it takes
and may also intervene elsewhere as the war on terrorism continues,
US President George W Bush said Tuesday.

In an interview on ABC television's "20/20" program Tuesday, Bush
said the job in Afghanistan may take some time, but vowed to complete
it, which may involved sending troops elsewhere.

"Strikes will be incredibly important," he said in a pre-recorded
interview to be broadcast later Tuesday. "And there may be need to
use military troops elsewhere ... I just want the American people to
know that we're keeping all options on the table."

On October 7, Bush launched the campaign against Afghanistan to
topple the Taliban militia and destroy Al-Qaeda, the network of
terrorist suspected terrorist Osama Bin Laden.

Bush reiterated that US forces were "tightening the noose" around Bin
Laden, reportedly seeking refuge in systems of caves and underground
tunnels.

But Bush declined to say whether Washington was contemplating action
against Iraq, the Gulf War foe the United States accuses of links to
terrorism and developing weapons of mass destruction.

"Well, what people need to know is we're going to do our job in
Afghanistan first," said Bush, complaining of "an impatience here in
Washington" about the pursuit of the war.

"But I can tell you this, I'm the kind of president and this is the
kind of administration that makes sure that the task we're doing is
accomplished," he said. ( AFP )
