Snow brings wonder, misery for homeless Afghans

KABUL, Jan 24 (Reuters) - The "strange white stuff" falling from the sky was a revelation for Abdullah's children but it only meant more misery. -- The severe winter across mountainous Afghanistan this year has killed several hundred people and about 40,000 cattle, according to government estimates. -- Conflict has driven millions of Afghans from their homeland beginning when Soviet troops first invaded in the late 1970s.
