US to help opposition with air support, ammunition: Rumsfeld

United States Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld at a Pentagon news briefing on Thursday said Washington would provide the opposition forces in Afghanistan with air support and ammunition.

This is the first time that the US has openly spoken of providing assistance to the forces fighting against the oppressive Taleban regime in Afghanistan.

"What's different today is that they (the opposition) are going to have some help. They're going to have some help in food, they're going to have some help in ammunition, they are going to have some help in air support and assistance," Rumsfeld said.
