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. -- *---------------------------* * Project Censored * * Sonoma State University * * 1801 E.
