NEW EVIDENCE
Bin Laden on tape: A videotape of Osama bin Laden obtained by U.S. officials in Afghanistan makes clear the Al Qaeda leader was behind the terrorist attacks, Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday. On the tape, Bin Laden says he was surprised by the extent of damage from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The tape also suggests that some hijackers did not know they were going to die.
MILITARY FRONT

KANDAHAR
Deal struck: Rival tribal leaders work out differences over the administration of Kandahar, with the former governor returning to his old office. The agreement reduces fears of factional fighting now that the Taliban is gone.
