| 2001-10-10 |
U.S. strikes on Afghanistan since the attacks began Sunday night have killed 76 people across the country and injured about 100, the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) and officials said Wednesday. Figures compiled by AIP and officials from the major cities hit in the U.S. air raids in pursuit of Saudi-born fugitive Osama bin Laden totaled 76 dead -- including 28 in the southern city of Kandahar, headquarters of the ruling Taliban, and 25 in the capital, Kabul. The figures showed six dead in the eastern city of Jalalabad, two dead in western Herat, eight killed in the northern city of Mazar-Hi-Sharif and seven in western Farah province where the strategic Shindand air field is located. |
