:::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.
