National News - British PM Warns Taliban

Blair is prepared announce the strikes will be directed at bin Laden's training camps and Taliban military and financial targets.
Military action will be "proportionate" and "targeted" and everything possible will be done to minimize civilian casualties, the official said. A timetable for the attacks has not been set, he said.
Blair's speech comes as the United States continues a massive military buildup in the region around Afghanistan. The aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk left Tokyo on Monday to join other U.S. forces being positioned for possible action.
Blair's speech comes a day after Pakistan's president said he had all but given up on efforts to mediate the standoff. Gen. Pervez Musharraf, suggested that U.S. military action now seemed inevitable.
Blair will call on the international community to destroy the machinery of terror, work together to foster greater understanding between nations and faiths, and to address injustices in the world, the official said.
