This frame grab taken off the Qatar-based al-Jazeera television shows the Red Cross warehouse in Kabul on fire after being hit by the US Navy on Tuesday, 16 October 2001. The Afghan capital came under fresh attack from US warplanes 17 October, as the Pentagon acknowledged that a US Navy F/A-18 fighter had mistakenly dropped a 1,000-pound GBU-16 bomb on one or more warehouses used by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) yesterday.
