KABUL: ONE YEAR AFTER THE TALIBAN

Kabul Oct.2002

Karte She - Kabul

"In March 1995 Shura-e-Nezar [led by Ahmad Shah Massoud] forces reportedly carried out raids on hundreds of civilian homes in Kabul's south-western district of Karte She, killing or beating whole families, looting property and raping Hazara women. One family, interviewed by a foreign journalist in Kabul, said President Rabbani's soldiers had told them they wanted to "drink the blood of the Hazaras". Medical workers in the area confirmed at the time at least six incidents of rape and two attempted rapes, but believed the actual number was much higher."
