AIP reports 20 dead in Kabul
2001-10-08
  • (Reuters) - U.S.-led bombing raids on Afghanistan caused deaths in the capital of Kabul, residents reported on Monday, as President Bush vowed attacks would go on until those suspected of suicide aircraft attacks on America were driven out of their caves and into the open. Aided by Britain in raids that included missile strikes, President Bush said the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan and its military were paying the price for supporting terrorism and sheltering Osama bin Laden, accused of Sept. 11's attacks on New York and Washington which killed about 5.600 people.

    The Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) agency said at least 20 people died in Kabul. 10 people were killed near Kabul airport on the northeastern edge of the capital and another 10 died when a bomb fell near the Voice of Shariat radio office in central Kabul.
