Afghan Presdient Hamid Karzai has promised to launch a probe into Monday’s overnight killing of a Helmand Province district governor, Haji Ebrahim, by NATO troops who raided his home.
Ebrahim had been the governor of the Gireshk District since 2001, and NATO conceded raiding his home that night, and killing one “militant.” They declined to identify that “militant” but it is increasingly apparently that it was Governor Ebrahim.
NATO’s use of night raids against civilian homes has been a source of growing friction with the Afghan government, and doubly so in this case as the governor appears to have been on comparatively good terms with both the Karzai government and the provincial government.
A spokesman for the Helmand Provincial government also condemned the killing, and reported that NATO troops had apparently also “arrested” six members of the governor’s family. What charges they were arrested on and if they are still being held is unclear.
The american army is so arrogant for them to kill every one is a game such a notorious army of the world we have never sen in the history. They are brutal but only with army not the civilians.
LMAO!!! there is your "Government in a box" for ya
Yeah, a coffin.
America is infecting its allies with insanity as well. Don't know what democracy its bringing to lands it sets up camp in, but it certainly brings grief. I have been saying for a long time that the biggest favour the US did to India was that it did not make us either ally or partner.
Its sheer good luck that as the earlier stream of luck was running out and we were at risk of getting into the US embrace, Wikileaks happened. I'm atheist, but this almost has me believing in a God looking after our country.
