US bombs 6 Red Cross warehouses
The United States just bombed 6 Red Cross warehouses. This is clearly not an accident; it is obviously a deliberate war of genocide of the Afghani people so that Unocal can build a pipeline through Afghanistan from the Caspian Sea to the Indian Ocean.

The first snows have already fallen on the Hindu Kush mountains and the isolated highlands of Hazarajat....
