From the New York Times review of “Al-Jazeera:”

As well as putting bin Laden on the air, Al Jazeera reported from the receiv­ing end of the Afghan war: the civil­ian casu­al­ties, the houses and lives destroyed. Finally, as the North­ern Alliance forces advanced, the Jazeera offices in Kabul were oblit­er­ated by an Amer­i­can 500-pound bomb. After ini­tial denials, a Pen­ta­gon spokesman admit­ted that Al Jazeera had been tar­geted as an alleged locus of Qaeda activ­ity. Gen­eral Tommy Franks said that a bin Laden deputy, Muham­mad Atef, was among the casu­al­ties in the attack. (He was killed again a few weeks later, in a com­pletely sep­a­rate incident.)
