The US started bombing Afghanistan in August 1998 during the Clinton administration. This was part of "Operation Infinite Reach" announced by President Clinton. It was a response to recent terrorist operations on the part of groups suspected to be connected with Bin Laden.

The war is the retaliation of the United States for the 9 / 11 incident, and also marks the beginning of the war on terrorism. Coalition officials said the purpose of the war was to arrest al Qaeda members such as Osama bin Laden and punish the Taliban for supporting terrorists.
