The Battle of Tora Bora, involving U. S., British and Northern Alliance forces took place in December 2001 to further destroy the Taliban and suspected al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.

Tora Bora (, ), known locally as Spīn Ghar (, ), is a cave complex situated in the White Mountains ( Safed Koh ) ( Safed Koh is the Dari form for Spin Ghar ) of eastern Afghanistan, in the Pachir Wa Agam District of Nangarhar province, approximately west of the Khyber Pass and north of the border of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas ( FATA ) in Pakistan.

Tora Bora was known to be an important area for the Taliban and insurgency against the Soviet Union in the 1980s.

As the suspected hide-out of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, it was the location of the December 2001 Battle of Tora Bora.

Tora Bora was variously described by the western media to be an ' impregnable cave fortress ' housing 2000 men complete with a hospital, a hydroelectric power plant, offices, a hotel, arms and ammunition stores, roads large enough to drive a tank into, and elaborate tunnel and ventilation systems.

When Tora Bora was eventually captured by the U. S. and Afghan troops, no traces of the supposed ' fortress ' were found despite painstaking searches in the surrounding areas.

Tora Bora turned out to be a system of small natural caves housing at most, 200 fighters.

It was also reported that in 2007, U. S. intelligence suspected that Osama bin Laden planned to meet with top Al Qaeda and Taliban commanders at Tora Bora prior to the launch of a possible attack in Europe or even the United States.

This operation was the first large-scale battle in the United States War in Afghanistan since the Battle of Tora Bora in December 2001.
