Wikileaks posted this excerpt from an NYT article, saying that these strikes hit a network of tunnels originally funded by the CIA for the mujahedeen. The Tora Bora tunnels are in the same region as the recent airstrike, but I haven't been able to ascertain if it's the exact same tunnel complex.

"The first time bin Laden had seen the Tora Bora caves, he had been a young mujahedeen fighter and a recent university graduate with a degree in civil engineering. It had been some 20 years before, during Washington's first Afghan war, the decade-long, C.I.A.-financed jihad of the 1980's against the Soviet occupation. Rising to more than 13,000 feet, 35 miles southwest of the provincial capital of Jalalabad, Tora Bora was a fortress of snow-capped peaks, steep valleys and fortified caves. Its miles of tunnels, bunkers and base camps, dug deeply into the steep rock walls, had been part of a C.I.A.-financed complex built for the mujahedeen."
