U.S. Air Raids Kill 11, Destroy Taliban Office - AIP; Bush issues Ramadan greeting to Muslims. ISLAMABAD and WASHINGTON -- U.S.-led forces early on Friday bombed Kandahar, the southern Afghan stronghold of the embattled Taliban, killing 11 civilians, the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) said. The U.S. planes pounded the city's eastern districts in blistering raids through the night and into the early morning raids and targeted the Taliban's foreign ministry building, AIP said. It said the external relations section of the ministry and a mosque were destroyed in the attack. Meanwhile, George Bush has issued a wartime Ramadan greeting to the world's Muslim communities. His message emphasised the humanitarian effort by the United States in Afghanistan. But he has already stressed there will be no suspension of the bombing of Afghan targets during the Muslim holy time of Ramadan, which begins this weekend. In the written statement Bush quoted a brief passage from the Quran about piety. "We send our sincerest wishes to Muslims in America and around the world for health, prosperity, and happiness during Ramadan and throughout the coming year." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
