    Foreign troops 'kill two students' in Wardak


    NATO-led troops opened fire on three students on a motorbike, killing two of them and wounding the third one in central Maidan Wardak province on Saturday, officials said.

    The incident triggered a protest by dozens of angry locals, who closed the Kabul-Kandahar highway for two hours, demanding justice, said provincial governor's spokesman, Shahidullah Shahid.

    The angry villagers were shouting "death to America" and asked the Afghan government to ensure justice and trail the murderers.

    NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in a statement said two Afghan civilians were "possibly killed" when entered a fighting area in Maidan Shahr, the provincial capital.

    "A coalition unit was on a patrol when they were attacked by insurgents with an improvised explosive device," the statement said.

    The troops had stopped the patrol to investigate the explosion when it came under small-arms fire, which forced the soldier to return fire, it added.

    Three civilians on a motorcycle, ISAF said, entered the fighting area and were shot.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
