Pakistani strike on Afghan capital kills 400 people, who burned in their beds or were crushed by collapsing walls

Witnesses and survivors have described the horrific scenes of a Pakistani air raid that hit a drug rehabilitation centre in Kabul, killing more than 400 people, who burned in their beds or were crushed by the collapsing building.

Afghan rescue crews were still digging bodies out of the rubble on Tuesday after the strike, the deadliest single attack so far in a three-week war between the two countries.

An ambulance driver Haji Fahim said he arrived at the hospital to find “everything was burning, people were burning”.

“Early in the morning they called me again and told me to come back because there are still bodies under the rubble,” he told Reuters.
