Fw: Bombing Kabul

["Nello Margiotta" <animarg at tin.it>]

 At least 23 people were killed in a U.S. bombing attack on Afghanistan on
 Sunday, October 28.

 A U.S. bomb flattened a flimsy mud-brick home in Kabul Sunday blowing apart
 seven children as they ate breakfast with their father.

 "The whole world is responsible for this tragedy. Why are they not taking
 any decision to stop this?" asked the wife of Gul Ahmad.

 Sobs racked the body of a middle-aged man as he cradled the head of his
 baby, its dust-covered body dressed only in a blue diaper, lying beside the
 bodies of three other children, their colorful clothes layered with debris
 from their shattered homes.

 Men digging graves for the children were angry.

 "Your filming makes no difference. Nobody runs it. Just get lost," one said
 to a Reuters reporter.

 Two other civilians died when a bomb hit the minibus in which they were
 attempting to flee Kabul with their family. Two villagers were killed and
 10 people injured when U.S. warplanes mistakenly bombed the tiny hamlet of
 Ghanikhel in territory held by the opposition Northern Alliance near their
 frontline positions facing the Taliban Saturday.

 The blast turned the mood in the village against the United States.

 "The Americans come here, drop their bombs on Afghanistan and kill innocent
 people," an Afghan cleric, Kamaruddin, said at the funeral of one victim
 Sunday.

 "U.S. jets have been very active and during the past 24 hours the bombings
 have been the worst since the start of the attacks," Opposition foreign
 minister Abdullah Abdullah told Reuters in Kabul. He stressed that
 battlefield losses had been minimal.
