Taliban deny their bombs cause most Afghan deaths
Taliban front man Zabiullah Mujahid claimed that the cut-throats only use the weapons to target foreign troops and the Afghan cops. "By spreading such propaganda they are trying to prevent us from planting bombs which cause the deaths of invaders in our country," he said in an emailed statement. On Saturday, the UN mission in Afghanistan urged the cut-throats to end the use of roadside kabooms, also known as improvised bombs or IEDs, saying they were by far the biggest killer of civilians in the conflict. The organization used the term in reference both to bombs detonated by remote control and landmines that go off when a vehicle goes over them. Posted by: Fred 2012-10-22 |
