Angry Mob

My car was just attacked by an angry mob in downtown Kabul - across from the Emergency Hospital in Shar-e-Naw. I'm okay. They blocked the street -- a guy dragging and swinging a big piece of metal that looked like a bed frame piece -- people were suddenly pounding on my car, my idiot driver didn't DRIVE, he tried radioing in, I'm screaming DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE and suddenly a brick comes flying through my window, glass everywhere. That finally got his ass in gear, and he drove. I'm okay - still shaking a bit. I'm back at home - staying put until further notice.

Apparently there was a traffic accident involving international forces and some locals. Shots were fired, rioting began.
