There will be fallout from the killing of former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani. Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen says it seems the Taliban is shifting tactics to more spectacular, high-profile attacks and assassinations. He said this also means that U.S. and Afghan forces will have to adjust to it. Mullen said at a news conference commanders are working with the Afghans to shore up their personal security.
