| WSJ reporters do it right. The situation was uglier and more complicated than previously revealed. Afghans converged from around the country to attack the UN compound in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif. The mob went to the mosques to be aroused, the Ghurka guards were under orders not to shoot the attackers, the Afghan police had no idea how to respond, the safe rooms were not safe, by the time nearby German and Swedish forces responded to phone calls for help the attackers had disappeared. Some interesting comments as well, in among the dross. |
