so, the question now is i watch the earlier programs about the kabul beauty school and i wonder if you had any connections of that at all while you were there? >> guest: >> host: and do you have a second question? >> caller: yes. most of the time in the kabul beauty school program, she talked about the importance of the very fancy dresses for the weddings. is that what most of these ladies are learning to do is to make a very fancy things for weddings? >> host: thanks for the question. >> guest: thank you very much. two things, no, i did not know those. this story, the difference i think is this took place during that 11 years when there were not foreigners in afghanistan for the most part. this really is about the young girls managed to do for themselves when no one was paying attention and almost every bit the have forgotten. there's a couple interesting scenes about wedding dresses in the book. i wont give them away too much, but when things are an incredibly important part of the afghan life and all that was true during the taliban years as it is now. but the address is now are muc

one-third of 2008 andn one-third of 2009 there last year i was there in july for the kabul concert and i was there seven months pregnant a great way to engage with the women through commonbe experience. >> host: your career as aa political televisionlevi producer for abc. how did you make that transition? >> guest: very carefully. i left abc. , you have had my former boss is on and i have knownn your colleagues since i was watching tv. i left because there were some stories that i wanted to do but not the way the news was going i cared about the economic development stories. they were women in of war were almost never told if i say war store you think about the young men of war but it leaves out soed manyh people they want to makee su sure there is a community tow go back to win the war is over. >> host: is camilla her mi name? could you tell the tales without endangering her? >> the trick is you see that they did everything they could to stay within the taliban rules they wore a.the on the street and they did not work with men they stuck in with those roles so when i asked her should

let's go to kabul, the afghan capital. what is the latest from where you are? in the past few minutes, i managed to talk to an afghan official. he told me it is not surprising about where osama bin laden was. it answers lots of questions, the fact that he was 60 kilometers from the capital of islamabad with military bases located in that area. it was a focus for security reasons of the pakistan government. he describes that it will answer all the questions and claims they have done in the past years to say that osama bin laden and al qaeda leadership is not in this country of afghanistan. i managed to talk to another source. he told me because the relationship between pakistan and the united states is very tense nowadays, osama bin laden was a big get. americans can repair the relationship that is very tense nowadays. someone now speak to else. we will go back to you soon as you get more information and reactions start coming out of kabul. we have someone on the line from islamabad,

defense secretary robert gates happened to be in kabul that day. he faced questions about civilian casualties, but maintained that a key insurgent had been killed. >> this is an individual who was responsible for organizing and orchestrating a number of attacks here in kabul and in northern afghanistan. this is the first that i had heard that civilians may have been killed, and we will certainly look into that. >> narrator: the military conducted a review of the operation. ten days later, a press release was issued. it said that the attack was "selective, surgical, and legitimate," but that the military "could not rule out the possibility of civilian casualties." we traveled to the remote corner of afghanistan where the strike took place and met with a group of survivors. ihsanullah is a schoolteacher who was there that day. >> narrator: these home videos show some of the election workers out campaigning. for some of their journey before the strike, they had a police escort, out of concern that the taliban might attack them. >> narrator: ihsanullah

the provinces just south of kabul that used to have strong relationships with kabul, providing food, a lot of traffic moving between them -- places like logar are what i call bombing galleries where coalition troops are trying very hard to lock those provinces down and order to protect kabul, but every step they take they are threatened by i.e.d's, that are killing hundreds of nato troops and many times that amount of afghans every year. a few days before i was caught up in a i.e.d explosion, i accompanied a patrol, a team of u.s. army engineers whose job it is to find the i.e.d's before they hit the other troops. >> my name is captain brand -- commander. >> what we doing here today? >> today's mission is to conduct ground clearance. our purpose is to provide clear maneuver on the ground and clear these roads for any possible obstacles such as i.e.d's. so the forces can move freely throughout the battlefield and protect the afghan nationals as they traveled this road. >> why is this important? >> it is important keep our guys safe to conduct their mission and the local population, to

you can see little kabul market just next door. and just down at the end of the strip mall another nonprofit islamic education center. we spoke briefly to a man hurriedly headed to prayer this morning. he did not want to comment for our story, but someone who did speak to us on camera giving us his reaction on the death of bin laden. a middle east history professor from stanford. he says it's symbolic and a blow to al qaeda morale. the threat of al qaeda is not gone. >> well first like all americans i imagine i'm happy he's been killed. i would have preferred he be put on trial, but if not this is next best. >> reporter: the executive director of a nonprofit group right here in fremont which pushes understanding between muslims and the u.s. sent out a statement about five hours ago as more details continue to come down about bin laden's death. he said "with major chapter of the war on terror closed by the death of osama bin laden, we hope for a new chapter of dialogue and peace between the u.s. and muslim world." his organization's

the afghan community experienced hate crime. >> little kabul, mussay their religion has a bad name and they blame bin laden for that. there are prayers that the terrorist death means no more innocent lives lost. >> we have a hope, god willing, a lot of the senseless killings will stop. >> all of those countries have been killed and innocent people. >> and the afghan coalition center is the largest organization here in the u.s.. it is one thing left that many afghans want. proof. >> they wonder if he is really dead or not. they are hoping that he is, osama bin laden was not a muslim. he was a mass murderer. >>> and you can hear they are not mincing words tonight out here. there is talk in the country about whether the reaction of bin laden's death is cell braatory and certainly that talk continues to go on out here in kabul. but i met a afghan man who said he's throwing the party and inviting 70 friends to celebrate bin laden's death. abc 7 news. >> thank you, secellia. >> this is pictures powered by youtube. they were taken in union city where there is a memorial. visitors paid respect

you see the walking wounded around the streets of kabul every single day. the full impact, his terror campaign, taliban's campaign, and, of course, the invasion of foreign forces over the past ten years and they're saying why should we dean their whoo pakistan is clearly in their view not cooperating and not committed to really cracking down on the taliban and really ruling out the militancy. the images themselves, what we're seeing here is a frail looking elderly look man hunched down with blanket over him in a nondescript room watching himself on television. as peter bergen pointed out, he did not want this image out there. for people in afghanistan, people of the muslim world, he very carefully has marved his image. fact that he was allegedly invincible. it really projected the strong image of one who was unvincible. a man who fled afghanistan, a man who was hiding, and a man who clearly felt the effectings of that and as i say a frail old looking man watching himself on television. >> stan grant, live from kabul, afghanistan. >>> much more on or our con

kabul, the taliban are confident enough to parade with their weaponry and defiant enough to denounce the killing of osama bin laden and threaten revenge. the commander of this group calls himself mulah bilal. "it doesn't matter that plnd i n laden is dead. here it is the taliban that is fighting the invader. not al qaeda." in fact, al qaeda has lately taken a more subordinate role in the fight here. while some taliban funding may come through al qaeda channels, much of it from the marketing of narcotics produceed in the afghan poppy fields, the al qaeda presence is down by u.s. estimates to perhaps 100 fighters. the death of osama bin laden was an opportunity for the taliban to distance itself from al qaeda if it had wanted to. thus far, it has not, and this war in the post-bin laden era is looking a lot like the war when he was around. but the killing has inflamed other internal afghan passions over whether to try to entice the taliban to the negotiating table. president hamid karzai has called the insurgents brothers and said there could be talks if they laid down their arms. it's

in two thousand and one it took only a few weeks to oust the taliban from kabul. but already insecure talented and violence still remains. how can one be surprised that eight years later the taliban are coming back. for sure is that so much given to each musician on the market the arab awakening is often referred to as revolutions in the arab middle east there can be no doubt something in court is a guy and. line in russia would be soon which bryson if you knew about someone from finest immigration is so. nice for instance on t.v. don't come.

there are people inside of kabul the karzai government is stealing american dollars they are building corruption and building a big mansions and the people in the rural areas are basically farmers who are getting anything or any services provided from the government and it's because of that the insurgency is fueling and growing ok i want to go back to that is taking a civil war i want to backtrack a little bit and get the history to. about a situation one last question which is back after the soviets pulled out of afghanistan someone that was a leader that they had been fighting against fighting opposition with in afghanistan during that soviet occupation later during the ninety's the soviets got together and were fighting with against people like osama bin laden right warning to a reporter to cover this during that era and was there on the ground right so essentially the enemies of my enemies or my friends kind of mentality and it worked together there didn't seem to be a lot of animosity do you think that the united states would ever do that in pulling out of afghanistan and begin w

it's quiet on the streets of kabul. the president of afghanistan made a speech to subgovernors about an hour and a half ago in which he said this killing of bin laden in pakistan demonstrates what he said all along, that the war against terror is not centered in afghanistan but elsewhere in the world. american troops, we have had no reaction from them yet, because we're frankly being kept away. they want to keep this low key. they do not want to inflame passions here by pictures of american troops celebrating. or saying we're glad bin laden is dead. you won't see too much reaction like that today. rob and peggy? >> he was not found in a cave or the mountains. he was found in this mansion. just a few hundred feet from a pakistani military base. how big an embarrassment is that for the pakistani intelligence community that osama was literally in their backyard? >> reporter: it's an embarrassment not because they didn't know about it. but according to many sources in western and arab intelligence agencies that i have spoke

., to kabul and speak to bbc's quentin somerville. looking at some of the comments hamid karzai has been making, it sounds like he feels vindicated by osama bin laden being found in pakistan. >> that's right. president karzai was practically crowing. he made the announcement to a gathering of tribal elders, and when he gave the news osama bin laden is dead, a huge cheer went off in the room. al qaeda had actually targeted some of those tribal leaders and killed some of them. but as well as that sense of vindication because president karzai said osama bin laden wasn't found in any of the provinces of afghanistan, he wasn't found in our homes and villages, he was found outside our borders, and the war on terror has to be fought outside our borders, there is also a worry from other senior officials here in afghanistan and political leaders that the united states may think this is now mission accomplished and might begin to gradually turn its back on afghanistan. they say only half the job is done because, of course, the taliban are still

. >>> in the meantime, chris in kabul are on high alert. during taliban rule in afghanistan, the al qaeda organization had free reign of the country. bin laden still has strong support in rural areas of the country. >>> the death of osama bin laden means saying good-bye to a tattered flag. he kept this flag flying. it survived wind, rain and heat. when they heard bin laden had been killed, they decided to lay it to rest. >> it was hard to digest because it's been such a part of this neighborhood. one sixth of my life has been flying here. >> what is going to happen to the flag? he would like to donate it. if they don't want it, he will give it to one of his children as an heirloom. >>> officers arrested a woman of pleasanton after a federal grand jury indicted her. a two-year scheme to admit foreign students on in addition to fees. meanwhile, in danville, three former church workers under arrest accused of embezzling $60,000. they used church owned credit cards for expenses. they began an internal investigation in may of 2010 when the pasto

just south of kabul, agricultural provinces that used to have strong relationships for kabul, providing food. a lot of traffic in between them, places like logar, today are what i would call i.e.d. galleries. just bombing galleries. a large coalition presence is trying really hard to lock those provinces down in order to protect kabul. every step they take, they are threatened by i.e.d.'s. thousands a year that are killing hundreds of nato troops and many times that number of afghans every year. i've given this before i was caught up in an i.e.d. explosion in logar province. i accompanied a team of u.s. army engineers whose job it is to find the i.e.d.'s before they ship the other troops. >> my name is captain brandon. >> what are we doing here today? >> today's mission is to conduct clearance. our purpose is to provide maneuver for the ground and also clear the roads for the possible obstacles such as i.e.d.'s throughout -- and also the --. >> why is mission important? >> because it is keep or guys safe to conduct their missions and also the population, providing them the ability to mo

this winter, he was back in kabul, working on another project for us. meeting with a number of his sources, he heard talk about a potentially big story: the return to afghanistan of al qaeda. >> when i was in kabul, i heard that al qaeda are back in force in afghanistan. then, i thought, "this is going to be a big story or big news." i said, "let's... let's... let's find out is it true or not." >> narrator: one source with high-level connections to the insurgency said it might be possible for him to film behind the lines with al qaeda the source arranged for najibullah to meet up with a middleman, someone who said he had done business with al qaeda. this man agreed to arrange a meeting and take him into al qaeda territory. >> narrator: the journey would be complicated. they were instructed to change taxis several times on the road in.

this morning's bomb attack in kabul coincides with a warning from david petraeus. in it he says army rebels should expect more attacks this summer, attacks that put civilians at greater risk, also recent payback of the killing of osama bin laden. petraeus commands authority of the force. last month president obama nominated him to be the next director of the cia. >>> also another breaking story to share with you this morning. this one is a massive manhunt that's under way around oklahoma city. this is going on right now. police looking for two suspects in the shooting of an off-duty sheriff's deputy. that deputy is a 25-year veteran of the force. he is now listed in critical condition. police say he was getting extra work as a security guard and that he was carrying a bank deposit around midnight when he was attacked. all of this apparently was caught on security cameras. more on this still developing story throughout the morning. >>> meanwhile, dominique strauss-kahn now out of jail this morning and he's actually in a manhattan apartment right now. he's in a home

>> stan grant in kabul, afghanistan. thanks so much. pentagon briefing still under way right now behind closed doors. reporters, writers, producers are there. we have our own reinforcements there as well. if you're just now joining us, what has been learned from this briefing at the pentagon is that there was an elaboration of the kind of dna tests that were involved to prove that this was indeed osama bin laden. in addition, at this raid in pakistan, upon the killing of osama bin laden, also discovered were at least five different videos that were seized from that compound. those videos were played in this briefing and we know just as a quick synopsis that one of them showed osama bin laden kind of wearing a wool cap, doing some rather ordinary things, watching television, but watching a bank of televisions via satellite presumably. and also it kind of showed his demeanor, the graying of his beard, that he was wearing a blanket. and another video which intelligence believes was going to be an intended message to the u.s. which osama bi

it civilian agencies are restrained either because of their presence at the embassy in kabul or ed very finite number of reconstruction teens, is the military out in the field that is the one that general -- that executes a lot of these governments, developments, and military missions. that is because they're the only ones out there on a range of missions. >> a great deal of progress has been made. unity of effort within the military much less across the dimensions of the effort is famously difficult. there are still some important challenges that remain. i think they tend to stem from the underdevelopment of the government side of the campaign plan for the conduct of operations in theater. there are a variety of trails between different parts of what we seek to do in government and development. -- governments development. there is a short-term security benefits and the long-term governance problem. to prioritize and sequence the resolution we will not simultaneously be able to constrain every malign actor in afghanistan. we need to have a sense of who to start with and in what order to
