“On November 13 [2001], U.S. warplanes bombed a building in Kabul [Afghanistan] thought to be a Taliban or al Qaeda headquarters. After the bombs completely leveled the building, a senior military official recalled, ‘Some cell phone intercepts [contained] some excited or angry exchanges between Taliban and al Qaeda members’ indicating that one or more al Qaeda leaders had been killed in the building. U.S. officials later learned that the building housed the Kabul offices of the al-Jazeera television network.”
