"RIOT IN KABUL"  

• • • • • • • •

ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) troops used German Shepherd dogs and their batons to push back a mob who had stormed the compound just outside the Ghazi Stadium in Kabul where peacekeepers were searching fans before they entered the stadium to watch an event billed as a "Game of Unity" between the British and Kabul United. The mob tried busting in the doors, climbing over each other and standing on top of others to climb over the wall and jump into the search area.
