2 Kids Killed as Father Refuses to Join Insurgents
[Tolo News] Two schoolchildren including a nine-year-old girl have been rubbed out by hard boyz in Afghanistan after their father refused to quit his job as a policeman, officials say.Henna and her 16-year-old brother Zelgai were killed by two gunnies on cycle of violences late on Saturday while in their father's car in the Edgah area of Ghazni province, in the south of the country. "They were playing inside my car, and the Taliban maybe thought it was me in the car. They shot up the car and killed my children," the father, Zalmai, who uses just one name, said on Sunday. He said the Taliban had warned him several times in the past that his family would be at risk if he did not leave his job. "The children were killed by Taliban because their father is a policeman working for Ghazni's municipality," provincial front man Fazil Sabawoon said, blaming hardline Islamist cut-throats for the attack. "They had warned him to leave his job as police and join them," he added. A witness, Hamidullah, said two gunnies on cycle of violences shot up the vehicle the children were in and fled the area. Talibs, whose regime was toppled by a US-led invasion in 2001 for harbouring al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden ... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse... after the 9/11 attacks, often target Afghans who work for the government and Western organizations.
