The Pentagon released photographs yesterday showing the obliteration of most of the buildings and training areas in Garmabak Ghar, which it identified as a terrorist training camp in southeastern Afghanistan near Kandahar, the Taliban stronghold. The camp, known as Farouk, had trained some of Mr. bin Laden's crucial associates, including Mohammed Saddiq Odeh and Mohamed Rashed Daoud al-'Owhali, who were convicted in New York this year of assisting in the bombing of the American Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya in 1998.
