Taliban statement on US soldier barbaric killed 16 Afghan

An American soldier killed 16 children, women and men in Panjwai district of Kandahar early Sunday. “In continuation of the past acts of terror by the American monsters, these cruel savages have once again resorted to committing a bloody crime in the Zangabad area of Panjwai District in Kandahar Province and have martyred, according to their own figures, more than 20 innocent villagers in direct shooting on defenceless civilians,” a Taliban statement said. “But in truth, the number of martyrs of the incident is much higher than this. Most of these innocent martyrs are children, women and elderly men who have lost their lives as a result of utmost ruthlessness of the American savages,” the statement on Taliban website said. Quoting eyewitnesses, the statement said the American savages carried out this barbaric attack on three families in a village in Zangabad area without any military or security reason as the martyred villagers did not pose any threat to them. “The American savages have described perpetrators of this barbaric calamity as suffering from mental and psychological illness in an attempt to acquit them from committing the crime”. “If the perpetrators of this criminal incident are really insane and suffering from psychological illness then from the military point of view it is another moral crime by the American invaders in Afghanistan to arm lunatics and people with mental problems with deadly weapons to use them on innocent Afghans,” the statement said. The statement asked as to which military regulation in the world allows lunatics to be armed and given the responsibility of maintaining peace and security? “While expressing condolences and Islamic sympathy to the victims of this barbaric incident, the Islamic Emirate assures survivors of the incident that it will, with Allah Almighty s assistance, avenge the martyrdom of each of the victims on the invading and beast-like murderers and punish them for their barbaric action”. The Taliban statement called on international human rights organizations and other institutions to help Afghans in preventing these unjustifiable crimes by the American invaders and fulfill their responsibility to bring them to justice.
