At least five NATO troops were killed today in a pair of attacks in Kandahar Province, with four killed in a bombing and a fifth killed in fighting with insurgents. NATO offiials declined to release the nationality of any of the slain.
The attacks come as US-led forces are promising to seize control over the region around Kandahar City, the major offensive that is supposed to vindicate a massive escalation of the war that, so far, has netted only record death tolls.
Kandahar City’s deputy mayor Noor Ahmad Nazari was also reported seriously wounded today in a drive by shooting carried out by a pair of gunmen on motorcycles. A separate attack was also reported to have killed a member of the provincial parliament.
Nazari took the office in April, after his predecessor Azizollah Yarmal was assassinated in a mosque during prayers. Nazari is still in the hospital and it is unclear what his current condition is.
Still time to decide whether americans wil kill all the Muslims around the world. Afghans have their aim to liberate their country. What for americamns are dieing only for lies of the Govt. and wishes of neo-cones.
I am against every killing but for me americans are most natorious killers in the world and I am sure they will be punished by God. Last cntury and first part of this century will be for american killers and will be rmembered as innocent Muslims killers.
Befor american intervention both in Irak, Afghanistan and Pakistan was peace and now had become a hell. We are killing our own people for america.
No one cares anymore, we shouldn't be over there, it's all quite sad.
Truly sickening what a waste of money and lives this all is…. Seems like we could use all those resources and time, to I dunno have the country up and running totall on Solar Panels in 5 years.
all for the egos of the weak,sitting at their desks
