KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan authorities declared a nighttime curfew in Kabul Monday after the worst rioting since the fall of the Taliban, sparked by a U.S. military convoy accidentally plowing into traffic. At least eight people died and 107 were injured across the city.
Chanting “Death to America!”, rioters stoned the U.S. vehicles then headed to the city center, ransacking the offices of international organizations and searching for foreigners—highlighting rising resentment toward international troops in Afghanistan after recent civilian deaths during combat.
Gunfire, at times intense, rang out across Kabul as hundreds of young men smashed store fronts, carted off goods and set fire to police cars and station houses in the worst riots since the U.S.-led military alliance ousted the Taliban regime in late 2001. Afghans alleged U.S. and local troops fired on the crowds.....
“We don’t want Americans in our country. They don’t care about poor people. They killed innocent people today and this is not the first time,” said 28-year old protester Abdul Shakoor.
“They do it all the time and in the end they say it was a mistake. It’s not acceptable to us any more.”
