Residents in the village of Asmani Kilai, in the southern Paktia province of Afghanistan, look through the wreckage of vehicles on December 22, 2001, after US air strikes. Villagers told Reuters Television that 15 cars, 10 homes and a mosque were destroyed when US warplanes attacked a convoy of vehicles carrying tribal elders to the installation of a new government in Kabul. The United States has said it believes the cars were carrying members of Osama bin Laden's al Qaida network. —REUTERS
