AFGHANS CLEAR RUBBLE OF A MUD HOUSE HIT BY A U.S. MISSILE, 2001-10-08 (photo)

Afghans clear up rubble after a house was hit during U.S.-led air strikes in Kabul on October 8, 2001. There was no human losses when the bomb went off overnight in this mud built house, but two of its rooms were destroyed and windows of nearby buildings were shattered. Kabul decided on Monday to resist U.S. attacks, saying the Afghan people would sacrifice all for honour even as officials counted the dead and thousands fled the capital fearing another night of thunderous air raids. However, the chief target of the attacks, fugitive militant Osama bin Laden, emerged unscathed, officials said. REUTERS/ Sayed Salahuddin SS/WS
