::Victims of the September 11 terrorist strikes in the United States handed
::over compensation claims to US officials here on behalf of Afghan
::civilians who lost family or homes in Washington's retaliatory bombing
::campaign in Afghanistan.

::The handover was the culmination of an eight-day visit to Afghanistan by a
::group of four Americans who lost family members when terrorists rammed
::jetliners into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in
::Washington, killing more than 3,000 people.

::Kelly Campbell, 29, whose brother-in-law Craig Amundson was killed in the
::Pentagon attack, said the group had met dozens of Afghan victims since
::they arrived in the country.

::"We've met with people who have lost their loved ones to the US bombing,
::we've met children who've lost limbs to US cluster bombs, people whose
::homes were destroyed, who have no income, nowhere to go ... and do not
::know what to do next," she told reporters.

::"The United States government needs to take responsibility for the direct
::effect on these people's lives," she added.

::"We have looked at pictures of their families, they have looked at
::pictures of ours, we have talked with them, we feel the same grief, but
::they have nothing.

::"We owe it to them to do what we can to help them rebuild their homes and
::give their children health care and an education so they can get on with
::their lives."

::Among those making a claim was Harafa Ahmad, who lost eight members of her
::family when her home was hit by a wayward bomb on November 7.

::She told reporters she had arrived on her own at the gates of the embassy
::but had been turned away by officials.

::"They treated me as a beggar," she said.

::The US began waging war in Afghanistan on October 7 to flush out Osama bin
::Laden, the Saudi dissident believed to have masterminded the September 11
::atrocities, and to help topple the Taliban regime which sheltered him.

::The head of the Global Exchange non-governmental organization which
::organized the visit, Medea Benjamin, handed over claims from 12 families
::to the commanding officer of the US Marines in Kabul, Captain Ferral
::Sullivan, at the US embassy here.

::She said there had been precedents in Lebanon, Grenada and Panama for
::Washington paying compensation to families of people accidently killed in
::US bombing campaigns.

::The 12 families making the claims, she added, were not angry at the United
::States and accepted the bombings of civilians had been unintended. They
::were also pleased the campaign had resulted in the Taliban's ouster.

::"But they feel they were ... (also) innocent victims of September 11 and
::they have such great need and nowhere to turn."

::She said one study had indicated that at least 4,000 civilians were killed
::in the bombings, which are still continuing, but believed this figure was
::vastly underestimated.
