American forces in Afghanistan are building madrassas in an attempt to persuade parents not to send their children across the border to Pakistan for instruction at hard-line religious schools.
Sitting in her hospital bed with a plastic patch taped over her left eye, Robina ud Din was a picture of misery. The red-haired two-year-old had been flown to the US military hospital in Bagram, outside Kabul, the Afghan capital, after being injured when American soldiers opened fire on her family's car at a checkpoint in the eastern town of Khost.
