How did it start?

The Times of London:

> A witness said: "The fighting started when the Taleban were being
> questioned by two men from the CIA. They wanted to know where they
> had come from and whether they might be al-Qaeda."

The Times of New York:

> Members of a German television crew were filming in the fortress
> where the prisoners were being held when the uprising began on
> Sunday, and said that the melee started as the prisoners were
> assembling on a parade ground. A prisoner lunged for the weapon of a
> guard, and five guards were swiftly mowed down.
