Northern Alliance guards and soldiers take cover on the roof of the huge Qala-i-Jhangi fort of General Abdul Rashid Dostum November 25, 2001 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

Uprising?

Like the urban riots this year were "rebellion" or "unrest." You've been watching too much CNN. When armed military pretend to surrender and avoid being killed under the Geneva Convention, and then attack their captors, that is not is an "uprising." It is a covert terrorist mission.

Punishment = summary execution.
