United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan addresses a news conference at the United Nations European headquarters in Geneva on November 1, 2001, where he warned that tensions within the international anti-terror alliance could intensify the longer air strikes against Afghanistan continued. Annan also reiterated his hope that the military campaign against Afghanistan's ruling Taliban would end soon so that aid agencies could distribute enough food to the country's millions of needy people ahead of winter. —REUTERS
