[MR] rumors

I just confirmed this:

KABUL, Afghanistan, Sept. 13 —  Afghan citizens, fearing a U.S. strike
on targets associated with Osama bin Laden, a leading suspect in the
terror attacks on the United States, braced for the worst on Thursday.
Reports of people digging trenches and building fortifications near the
capital came as the country’s Islamic rulers denied that they had put
bin Laden under house arrest.
