Have not those who promote only their own interests again brought disgrace upon themselves? At least 30 Afghan civilians have been killed by indiscriminate Taliban violence in the past week. Hypocritical Taliban leaders talk from their hideouts about protecting the people and they issue disingenuous directives claiming to shield Afghans from harm. Instead have not these terrorists, these enemies of all that is sacred, used indiscriminate violence to kill scores of innocent Afghans? Their rhetoric does not match Afghan reality. For example, insurgent violence against civilians includes a road side bomb explosion in Khushamand district of Paktika province which killed 20 civilians including 6 woman and 13 children. Just three days before 9 civilians, including 6 women, 2 men and a child, were murdered in a roadside bombing in northern Afghanistan while travelling to a wedding. A day earlier, another roadside bomb killed 6 people travelling in a minibus in Sangin district of Helmand province in the south. The insurgents menace the Afghan population in many different ways -- from indiscriminate violence, oppressive practices, the imposition of an extremist ideology and in preventing the growth and development of basic services. Below I invite you dear readers to see some links of insurgent atrocities in the last week reported by independent media.

Hardly a day passes by without roadside bomb explosions that kill innocent civilians. These cowardly insurgents do not have the courage to face brave soldiers from Afghan army or international security forces. Instead, roadside bombs, their weapon of choice, have frequently caused indiscriminate death to innocent civilians.
U.S Central Command strongly condemns these vicious, cowardly and inhumane acts of violent extremist organizations. Our heartfelt thoughts and concerns are with the victims’ families. We will work with our Afghan partners to find those responsible and bring them to justice. The people of Afghanistan deserve --better than the Taliban-- the opportunity to live in a country that is free of IED death and destruction.
