On August 10, 2000, “the tribals [in southern Afghanistan] reported an attempt to ambush Bin Ladin’s convoy as he traveled on the road between Kabul and Kandahar city–their first such reported interdiction attempt in more than a year and a half…According to the tribals’ own account, when they approached one of the vehicles, they quickly determined that women and children were inside and called off the ambush.”
