Up to 2,000 people gathered in central Kabul, with groups marching on parliament, the presidential palace and Western missions, including the US and British embassies. Shops were looted and the offices of an aid agency ransacked. Protesters chanted “Death to America” and burnt US flags as they fought running battles with police.
While chaos reigned in the capital, US bombers struck against Taleban positions in southern Helmand province, killing up to 50 people.

Shah Mohamud, 15, who was shot in the arm, said: “The American tank drove into a Corolla car and rolled over it. They killed six to seven people in the crash. We surrounded them and asked ‘why did you do this?’. Then the police came and opened fire. The police were shooting everybody.
“The Americans should be here as human beings not animals. They should stop treating us like animals,” he said.
