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.

Syrian violence


At least 34 people, almost half of the civilians, were killed across Syria on Sunday as peace envoy Kofi Annan held a second round of talks with President Bashar al Assad, a monitoring group said. The casualties comprised 15 civilians, 14 regular army soldiers and five rebel fighters, with most of the casualties occurring in the provinces of Idlib and Damascus and in the city of Hama, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. "Fierce fighting has been raging between deserters and regular army troops since morning in the Idlib province village of Al-Janudieh," the head of the Observatory Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP in Beirut. "A civilian and three regular troops were killed and a troop carrier damaged," in the northwestern province, he said. A soldier was also killed in a bomb blast in the Idlib village of Marehian and another by heavy machinegun fire in the village of Najiah, said the Britain-based Abdel Rahman. A woman and her son as well as two soldiers were killed in Ariha during clashes between regime troops and defector, while another soldier died in fighting in the Jabal al-Zawiya rebel stronghold, he added. In the city of Idlib four civilians were killed when they caught in the crossfire of clashes between deserters and army troops. Six regime troops and two deserters were also killed in clashes in the central city of Hama while four civilians died in the nearby province of Homs, three of them brothers killed when a rocket fell on their house. An ambush elsewhere in the Homs province killed an army officer and wounded five others. Clashes between deserters and army troops also killed three defectors in the Damascus countryside and a civilian was shot dead by security forces during a raid inside the capital itself. Earlier state news agency SANA said "terrorists" shot dead boxing champion Ghiath Tayfour, in the northern city of Aleppo, where monitors said a Kurdish women activist was shot dead at a security checkpoint at dawn. The Syrian army stormed Idlib on Saturday after shelling the city and province for days and massing troops to snuff out fighters from the rebel Free Syrian Army, activists have said.
