US, British forces conduct operations in Afghanistan: Report

A foreign news channel quoting a senior United States administration official said on Friday that American and British special forces have conducted operations in Afghanistan and the Central Asian region.

In the news report the official characterised the operations as part of routine deployment, integral to any US military operation overseas.

Reports of special operations were first reported in the Pakistani media and USA Today newspaper.

The official hinted the operations were intelligence or reconnaissance-related.

US military special operation units include Army Rangers, Green Berets, Delta Force and navy SEALs.

Meanwhile, United States President George W Bush said the US is 'in hot pursuit' of terrorists behind the September 11 attacks.

In a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan, the president also said he and his military planners have taken note of lessons learnt by Russia in its long, brutal struggle against Afghan rebels in the 1980s.

"It is very hard to fight a ... guerrilla war with conventional forces," Bush said.

"There may or may not be a conventional component to US military action against terrorists believed to be hiding in Afghanistan," he added.

Bush refused to discuss details of his military plans, but in his customary style said, "Make no mistake about it -- we're in hot pursuit of terrorists."
