From 911Encyclopedia:
Many journalists suggested in November 2001, that the bombing on the afghan offices of the TV Station Al-Jazeera was on purpose. Few knew, that it almost killed BBC World Service correspondent William Reeve, who was working on that day in the same Kabul office. Nik Gowing, a presenter on BBC World said about this incident: "It seems to me that a very clear message needs to go out that this must not be allowed to continue." Al-Jazeera's chief editor, Ibrahim Hilal, said he believed that its Kabul office had been on the Pentagon's list of targets since the beginning of the conflict.
