Once again insurgents proved how little regard they have for the losses of innocent civilians by placing IED’s in civilian populated areas, an insurgent IED exploded in a crowded area in Nahr-e Saraj Helmand province today which killed 14 civilians and injured several more. Not a day passes by without insurgents slaughtering academics, intellectuals, farmers, teachers, student and female rights activists, Taliban are using their old tactics of terrorizing innocent civilians to impose their strict Un Islamic law to oppress defenseless civilians.Its utterly disgraceful that these insurgents have hijacked the name of Islam and resort to such cowardly and brazen tactics to kill and terrorize innocent civilians simply because of their sick ideology, they have no logical motivation-their job is not for God, not for religion, nor for peace in the country, but for money and their extremist leaders like Osama and Mullah Omar. This despicable attack blatantly targeted Afghan civilians. We offer our sincere condolences to the families of the murdered civilians, and we wish for a hasty recovery for all those injured by this attack,” said Rear Admiral Vic Beck, ISAF Director of Public Affairs. “We will continue to focus our efforts to assist the Afghan government in bringing those responsible to justice.” the good news is due to the surge of American troops and the strength of Afghan and International security forces military offensive in south and southwest insurgents are losing ground, especially around Kandahar city. In an interview with New York Times Taliban commander said “Taliban have lost their bases in the rural areas around Kandahar and are a much weakened force in their old southern stronghold. He also added that their Commanders have taken refuge across the border in Pakistan and are unwilling to return.
