Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

U.S. Air Raids Strike Civilian Targets in Kabul and Kandahar

HeadlineOct 22, 2001

Yesterday, a U.S. air raid shattered two homes in Kabul’s northern district, killing at least 13 civilians, including three women and four boys ages 8 to 13. Afghan refugees fleeing U.S. air raids said Saturday U.S. strikes destroyed shopping bazaars in Kandahar, killing and injuring shoppers and other civilians. The Taliban, meanwhile, denied a report that the U.S.-led airstrikes had claimed the life of the 10-year-old son of Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar early in the bombing campaign.
