After a withering aerial barrage, they prowled the rugged mountain area to hunt out any entrenched enemy troops. \u003cbr/\u003eIn former Taliban strongholds, pro-Taliban fighters still resisted allied troops. In Kandahar in January four suspected former Taliban fighters were captured after an hour-long gun battle in the city centre. Later that month an eight-week stand-off in Kandahar Hospital ended when allied troops blasted their way into a hospital ward and killed six al Qaida fighters who had been holed up there, refusing to surrender. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the Gardez region, in eastern Afghanistan, heavy fighting highlighted the fragility of Afghanistan's new-found peace. The battle pitted troops loyal to Bacha Khan - a warlord aligned to Afghanistan's interim administration and working with US special forces - against troops for the local government council. The fighting broke out after the locals opposed Khan's taking of the provincial governorship. The support for Al Qaida in the area posed a real problem for allied troops as it became clear locals here were still supporting enemy troops entrenched in the surrounding mountains. Local officials even took to handing out fake money to the citizens of Gardez as a representation of the reward they would receive if they handed over Al Qaida fighters. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Kabul, the highest figures of authority were not immune to the continuing violence. In February the minister of civil aviation was attacked and killed at Kabul airport. At first it was thought those responsible were angry pilgrims, whose journey to Mecca had been delayed. But days later the interim president Hamid Karzai announced Abdul Rahman's death was linked to a blood feud dating back to the struggle against the Taliban. Five men were wanted in connection with the killing. Two were generals and others were members of the justice ministry and the intelligence service. \u003cbr/\u003eIn July the new administration was targeted again, this time with the assassination of Vice President Abdul Qadir. The attack took place as Al Qadir was being driven through the capital. Two gunmen fired Kalashnikovs at the car, killing Qadir and his driver. \u003cbr/\u003eThen in September, in the bloodiest attack in the capital since the fall of the Taliban, a powerful car bomb rocked a busy market area near the Ministry of Information. At least 22 people were killed. On the same day, in Kandahar, there was a failed assassination attempt against President Karzai. His US bodyguards wrestled to the ground and shot dead the uniformed gunman. \u003cbr/\u003e(a) \u003cbr/\u003eShah-e-Kot, South of Gardez - March 13, 2002 \u003cbr/\u003eNorthern Alliance soldiers
