But Mr Fisk said he could understand the refugees' anger, as many had relatives who had been killed by the US bombing of Afghan city Kandahar last week.
They had every reason to be angry... If I had been them, I would have attacked me
Robert Fisk
"It doesn't excuse them for beating me up so badly but there was a real reason why they should hate Westerners so much.
"I don't want this to be seen as a Muslim mob attacking a Westerner for no reason. They had every reason to be angry - I've been an outspoken critic of the US actions myself. If I had been them, I would have attacked me."
Yeah I can understand too, being a journalist there those dangers, but those dangers were increased when US said they had world wide backing.
Those afghans beat him up because they thought he was American.
