| US whacks Kabul Talihotel |
| 2001-11-05 |
"In Kabul, the sound of helicopters was heard before the rockets slammed into the hotel, which housed Taliban fighters, just before dawn. That would mark a change in U.S. tactics from using high-flying jets. "We don't know about deaths, but some Taliban have been wounded and one part of the hotel has been damaged," said Abdul Hanan Himat, an information ministry spokesman in Kabul. Witnesses saw pieces of bodies and blood after the attack. "Himat said 15 civilians were killed overnight and 22 wounded by U.S. bombing in the Daman district of the southern city of Kandahar and in the Keshendeh area in the south of the northern province of Balkh." |
