Four security workers for a United Nations-affiliated mine-clearing operation were killed during Monday night's strikes. Pentagon sources say the United States sent four cruise missiles against communications towers in the area near Kabul, and three hit their intended target. The fourth cruise missile is unaccounted for. The Pentagon acknowledged it was "entirely possible" that the missing missile hit the U.N. building, even though it was not targeted by the U.S. military. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday, "We regret the loss of life."
