Detail of US Sorties on Civilians

Asia, October 25, 2001 [ 21:49 ]
, JANG &lt;http://www.afghan-web.com/aop/today.html 


ISLAMABAD. The US bombing of Afghanistan has left an unknown number of
civilians dead. Taliban officials claim the total is over 1,000 but AFP has
been able to confirm only 25 civilian deaths in Kabul as a result of
reporting restrictions in Afghanistan.

Following is a list of incidents where there is some evidence from witnesses
or non-Taliban sources to support claims that non-military targets have been
hit by US bombs.

October 23 village bombing: At least 52 civilians reportedly killed in
bombing of Chakoor Kariz village, near Kandahar. The Arabic news station Al
Jazeera put the death toll at over 90 and broadcast film of what it said
were victims of the attack in hospital in Kandahar. The Taliban claims the
village was mistaken for a terrorist training camp, as others have been.

October 22 hospital bombings: A US bomb struck a military hospital in a
military compound in Herat, western Afghanistan, according to the UN. The US
acknowledged a bomb went astray over the city and may have hit an old
people's home. The Taliban claims a 100-bed civilian hospital in the city
was destroyed by bombing, as well as the military clinic.

October 21 refugee convoy: At least 20 civilians, including nine children,
killed when the tractor and trailer on which they were fleeing US attacks on
the southern town of Tirin Kot was bombed, according to survivors of the
attack now hospitalised in Pakistan. The Taliban reported two similar
incidents near Kandahar and Jalalabad, both on October 17.

October 21 Kabul: A stray US bomb lands on the neighbourhood of Parod
Gajaded in the Khair Khana district of northeastern Kabul, killing ten
people, nine of them from the same extended family, witnesses told an AFP
reporter who visited the scene shortly after the bombing.

October 18 KABUL: Five members of the same family are killed when six houses
are destroyed by US bombs in the Kalae Zaman Khan area of Kabul, witnesses
and relatives told AFP at the scene. An eight-year-old girl was killed in
the eastern suburb of Macroyan. Other residential areas were struck the same
day but casualties could not be confirmed.

October 16 Red Cross warehouses: US bombs hit warehouses of the
International Committee of the Red Cross in Kabul, destroying supplies and
injuring at least one worker. The compound had a large red cross on the
roof. After a Red Cross protest, the US admitted dropping a 1,000 pounds
bomb close to the warehouse, saying Taliban vehicles were in the area. A
World Food Programme warehouse in Kabul has also been damaged in raids.

October 13 Kabul Airport: a US bomb missed a target at Kabul airport and
struck a nearby village, killing at least four people, according to
witnesses. The Pentagon confirmed the bomb had gone off course due to
technical error.

October 11 village bombing: At least 160 people reported killed in Kadam, a
mountain village near Jalalabad. An AFP reporter who visited the remote
village saw dozens of collapsed houses, one unexploded bomb and more than 18
fresh graves. But the numbers of dead could not be confirmed. The US said it
had attacked caves in the area, which were packed with ammunition.

October 11 Kabul: Residents of a village near Kabul airport said a
12-year-old girl died when a bomb landed near her house, causing it to
collapse.

October 9 Kabul: Office of an UN-backed demining agency in Kabul is bombed,
killing four security guards. US expressed regret following UN protest.

October 7-24 utilities: Since the start of the campaign US attacks have
targeted power plants, telecommunications facilities and broadcasting
infrastructure. Power in Kabul has been intermittently cut. Kandahar has
been without power or water since the start of the second week of bombing.
Kabul's telephone exchange has been badly damaged and the Taliban's Radio
Shariat has been forced off air.
