AMIR SHAH and KATHY GANNON Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan -- In the biggest attack so far againstKabul, U.S. jets pounded the Afghan capital Wednesday, andexplosions thundered around a Taliban military academy, artilleryunits and suspected terrorist training camps.

October 10 is the anniversary of The Bombing of Kabul in 2001. A mere three days after the war began, the US had apparently run out of targets, so they began bombing the capital, as is their tradition. And as per usual, this was their largest airstrike to that point. Civilian targets are more fun apparently.

The attacks would of course continue over the following days/weeks. Hundreds of civilians were killed. Hospitals lost electricity. The Taliban offered to surrender bin Laden for trial in a third party country if the US regime stopped the bombing and provided proof of his guilt. Of course they wouldn’t.

This was also the day that the US air force started ordering the usage of cluster bombs on Afghanistan. Between then and March of the following year, they would proceed to drop 1,228 of them. Causing plenty of indiscriminate deaths.
