American helicopter raids at Afghanistan

News reports said that at least 10 civilians were killed and 12 wounded on Sunday evening when a bomb was dropped at a residential area to the north of Kabul, while the governor of Harrat city said that the American bombardment against it resulted in destroying a hospital of 200 seats and the killing of 15 persons and wounding of many citizens in villages adjoining the city.

Meantime, the Taliban movement announced following the urgent meeting for its leaders a plan to re- distribute weapons with the aim to better confront the American forces as the US started to use helicopters.

The movement's higher commander al-Mulla Muhammad Omar has called on leaders of the al-Bashtoun tribes in Paksitan to send thousands of its members for " Jihad " against the US.

However, the state - run Afghani Bakhtar news agency quoted Taliban as downing two American helicopters on Sunday during raids and the killing between 20-25 American soldiers after they were hit by the Taliban's anti air-plane defense missiles.
