Afghan heroes mortar school
2002-02-28
  • A mortar shell slammed into a school at Sarobi, outside Kabul, killing one child and injuring about 30. Officials blamed the incident on Taliban and al-Qaida renegades. The area is controlled by Isatullah, who once fought with Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's Hezb-e-Islami, in the war against Soviets. Later, he fought with the Taliban but joined the northern alliance when they took control of Kabul in November.
    Given Commander Isatullah's affiliations, I'd say chances were 50/50 at best that the attack was by al-Qaeda or Taliban. Probably the best thing would be to shoot Isatullah and see if the attacks stop.
