That link doesn't support what you said above regarding 'innocent, injured people fleeing from an American assault'. It also doesn't say anything about the Muslims attacking him as revenge for their innocent injured brothers and sisters.

Here is the story, straight from Fisk himself:

Here is a commentary I found on the article:
[B]
Quoted from the article: "A small boy tried to grab my bag. Then another. Then someone punched me in the back. Then young men broke my glasses, began smashing stones into my face and head. I couldn't see for the blood pouring down my forehead and swamping my eyes. And even then, I understood. I couldn't blame them for what they were doing. In fact, if I were the Afghan refugees of Kila Abdullah, close to the Afghan-Pakistan border, I would have done just the same to Robert Fisk. Or any other Westerner I could find.
