| The Latest Day 9 Return to index of stories... |
Day 9 of the US war on terrorism. It now has a name: Operation Infinite Justice. That word came today as the Pentagon ordered combat aircraft to bases in the Persian Gulf region. It also mobilized special navy and marine forces. It's the first concrete sign of retaliation since last week's attacks. Afghanistan's Taliban group has offered to meet with US officials to discuss handing over Osama bin Laden. The US says it's time for action. Federal investigators are trying to track the money used by the terrorists who carried out the attacks. The government has set up law enforcement teams in Chicago and San Francisco to prosecute money laundering by the suspected terrorists. The nation's airline pilots association is asking for increased security aboard aircraft, including armed police. The US conference of Mayors is urging the federal government to take over airport security. The airline industry is facing billions in losses, since millions of people have cancelled travel plans, leaving planes virtually empty. It's asking for help from Congress. Today, American Airlines laid off 20-thousand employees. The President is set to address the nation tomorrow night. |

| Volunteers Return to index of stories... |
Many people around the Granite State have found support and solace this week by participating in memorial services and participating in local community relief projects. Today, the Director of New Hampshire's Emergency Management thanked Granite Staters who have helped and are offering to help with recovery efforts from last week's attacks. At the same time, he's urging people to work through established channels, and not on their own. Woody Fogg says the most effective way to help is to donate money and blood. He says people who aren't part of organized disaster response teams should not travel to disaster sites to volunteer or deliver goods. But he adds that people with special skills, including medical personnel, engineers or heavy equipment operators should contact his office to be put on a list in case they are needed during the months it will take to recover. |

Just last month, we had a chance to meet with a young girl - a refugee from Afghanistan who was visiting here in New Hampshire. Nargis Usman lives in Pakistan and was brought here by an organization in New Hampshire that provides books for the people of Afghanistan and others in need. When we met Nargis, she talked to us about what her country was like.How women in Afghanistan are denied the right to learn how to read, or attend school.We thought it was a story worth airing again in light of last week's events and our struggle to understand that region of the world. |
