KABUL, Oct 10 (Reuters) Two young women and two girls were wounded by shrapnel from a U.S.

Bomb dropped in an early morning air raid today on the eastern outskirts of the Afghan capital Kabul, witnesses said.

The bomb hit a wall of a disused fort in Dehyaya village about 15 km to the east of Kabul, wounding two little girls, their mother and a nomad woman living nearby.

"We were about to get up for morning prayers when the bomb landed.

My two daughters and wife received injuries from flying glass and shrapnel," said the father of the family.

"They are in a hospital in Kabul," he said.

The only other victims were four sheep belonging to a nomad family that had camped near the wall, which had partly collapsed in the blast.

"Americas war is with islam and targeting civilians like US is a clear example of that," said one villager.
