"I was covering the war that erupted between the militias after
the Russians withdrew from Afghanistan,
photographing the aftermath of an attack on Kabul when,
without warning, another rocket attack began.
I took cover in what turned out to be a hospital for the mentally ill.
Its residents were the victims of more than a decade of war -- both civilians and soldiers.
There were no doctors or nurses, no electricity, no running water.
The smoke from the fire of a makeshift kitchen had blackened the ceilings and walls.
The men and women there wandered around, or sat in a catatonic stupor."
