AN INJURED NORTHERN ALLIANCE SOLDIER LEAVES THE ROOF OF QALA-I-JHANGI FORT AFTER FIREFIGHT, 2001-11-25 (photo)

An injured Northern Alliance soldier climbs over the ramparts of the huge Qala-i-Jhangi fort of General Abdul Rashid Dostum November 25, 2001 during a firefight after hundreds of foreign prisoners seized guns from their anti-Taliban captors and staged a bloody revolt in the mud-walled 19th century fort near the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif. Some 500 prisoners linked to the al Qaeda network of Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden grabbed Kalashnikov rifles, machineguns and grenades from their Northern Alliance guards and battled them for about four hours. Many were killed and wounded on both sides, witnesses said. REUTERS TELEVISION ** THIRD OF A SERIES OF FOUR PHOTOGRAPHS ** WS
