Videotape of Jalalabad Attack Released
[Tolo News] A videotape obtained by TOLOnews from the Kabul Bank surveillance camera shows that a suicide attacker armed with AK-47 shoots to death civilians stuck in the building. The footage is not for the squeamish. However it also illustrates the sheeplike nature of humans. There were enough people there to swarm him with only one or two dead, but instead they remained in their flock and lots of them got killed. The suicide attacker has been jugged by security forces. The suicide attacker says it was enjoyable to kill people. "I shot numerous people. I was told people in grey are pagans and I was shooting them with joy," the jugged bomber said. ... thereby illustrating another characteristic of Islam that sets it apart from the religions of civilized folk: in India or Mongolia or Brazil pagans have just as many rights as anyone else. Nor does one group of citizens have the right to randomly bump off any other group. It's that eccentric idea of the law applying to everyone equally. More than 40 non-combatants were killed and nearly 80 others were maimed on Saturday during the raid into a branch of Kabul Bank in eastern Jalalabad city. Senior provincial security officials said majority of the victims were civilians. They're more likely to be unarmed... Religious leaders strongly slammed the attack, calling it against Islamic ethics. "Anyone who kills innocent people, should be punished under the Islamic rules, to be a lesson to others," said Fazl Ahmad, an Afghan holy man. Islam is the only religion that allows any idiot to pass on the guilt or innocence of anybody else. Everybody else has courts that are part of a legal system, however dysfunctional it may be. Nangarhar Police Chief urged justice organisations to severely punish the captured suicide attacker. "I suggest to justice organisations that such criminals should be punished in public, and people also expect this," Ali Shah Paktiawal, Nangarhar Police Chief, told TOLOnews. Records showed that more than 120 civilians have bit the dust in violence across the country and another 200 have been injured. Posted by: Fred 2011-02-23 |
