Khujand (275 words) |
 | The initial evaluation was intended to be a prelude to a Tajik decision on the types of missions that the United States would be allowed to conduct from Khujand [in north Tajikistan], Kulyab / Kulob [about 50 miles southeast of Dushanbe], and Kurgan-Tyube / Qurghonteppa [in southern Tajikistan]. |
| The evaluation apparently did not include Dushanbe, or the Tajik base near the town of Parkhar [about 100 kilometers from the Afghan border], which had previously figured in news speculation about possible US operations. |
| The Northern Alliance had used Kulyab and Parkhar to obtain supplise through Tajikistan. |
