Attacks

two apples on her hospital bed.
Neighbors brought the 5-year-old
to the hospital after Thursday’s
bombing raid killed her entire
family. When she was better. Dr.
Hashok Ullah said, hospital
workers would send the girl to an
orphanage.
Unsmiling and silent,
Samina stared out at strangers
Sunday from under a cap of
head bandages.
“She just doesn’t speak,”
Ullah said; “She hasn’t spoken
since she came in.”
A father, Ahmanzai, lay in one
bed hugging his wailing 1 1/2-
year-old son, Azizullah —- both
of them, bandaged against bums
and wounds from what villagers
said was a second bombing run in
the area of Karam on Saturday.
Female victims lay behind the
locked door of the women’s
ward. Inside, doctors folded back
one woman's enveloping black
shawl to show her wound — a
head injury, sustained in the same
attack they said killed her two
children Thursday.
At least 18 fresh graves were
scattered about the village,
marked with jagged pieces of
gray slate. Two were tiny —
freshly dug for what residents
said were children. Villagers said
more bodies were buried up in the
mountains, taken there by resi
dents as they fled the now mostly
deserted community.
An old man knelt by one grave
in the village, sobbing. He looked
up, furiously, at journalists and
their cameras and lobbed stones
to drive the outsiders away.
One villager, Toray, stood by
the ruins of his former home, its
roof gone. He clutched a scrap of
metal bearing the words “fin-
guided missile” in English.
Toray, who uses only one
name, said he lost his five chil
dren and his wife when the war
planes came. “I was asleep down
there in the morning, when they
bombed,” he said, gesturing
toward the base of the mountain.
Scratching his dust-caked
beard, he looked toward his
house and asked, “What do I have
left? Nothing.”
The United States launched its
air campaign on Oct. 7 to root out
bin Laden, the top suspect in the
Sept. 11 terror attacks thought to
have killed 5,600 people.
The Taliban insist there are no
military bases near Karam.
However, it is believed that bin
Laden operated terrorist training
camps here in Nangarhar
province.
It was unclear whether any of
the camps are in the Karam area
or whether they were the intend
ed targets of the attack.

Lriday, and was attending a retreat Saturday.
Lriends expected Monge Ortega back sometime
Sunday morning, said Max Aguirre, a senior agri
cultural economics major.
“He’d only been here a year, but everyone
liked him,” Aguirre said. “He enjoyed every
moment of life.”
Donald Castillo, also a senior agricultural eco
nomics major, had known Monge Ortega since liv
ing in Ecuador. Castillo said Monge Ortega joined
the fraternity because he liked diversity and want
ed to have good American friends.
Friends will hold a mass for Monge Ortega at 7
p.m. tonight at St. Mary’s Church.
The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is
investigating the accident.

Finding The Terrorist Attacks Difficult To Believe?
w
ho isn’t? Feeling more uneasy than usual as you try to get back to your normal routine? Most of us
are. Know someone who was deeply affected by the attacks? Many of us do. Experiencing past losses
and anxieties again? Very common result of traumatic experiences, like the terrorist attacks.
What can you do? One of the most powerful things you can do is to talk about your feelings,
environment has healing qualities.
Talking in a supportive
The Student Counseling Service is offering a group for students who would like a supportive environment to talk about
the way the terrorist attacks and its repercussions have affected their lives. Exploring Emotional
Safety will be offered on Mondays from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. and will be facilitated by Drs. Robert
Carter and Nancy Stebbins. If you would like to participate in this group, call the SCS at 845-4427 or
just show up on Monday, October 22nd at 1:30.
The SCS is located in Henderson Hall behind the All Faiths Chapel on campus.
