| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least six employees of the International Committee of the Red Thingy (ICRC) were rubbed out in northern Afghanistan. According to the preliminary reports, the ICRC employees were rubbed out by the loyalists of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group. A local government official in Jawzjan confirmed that the ICRC workers were executed in Qoshtapa district. The official speaking on the condition of anonymity further added that two other ICRC workers were kidnapped and there are no reports regarding their fate. "Six staff members of the International Committee of the Red Thingy (ICRC) have been shot and killed in Afghanistan. Two staff members are unaccounted for," a statement by ICRC said. The statement further added that the team, composed of three drivers and five field officers, was on its way to deliver much-needed livestock materials in an area south of the town of Shibergan in Jawzan province and their convoy was attacked by unknown gunnies. ICRC suspends work in Afghanistan after 6 staff killed The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is putting its aid activities across Afghanistan "on hold" following the killing of six Afghan staff, a senior ICRC official said on Wednesday. Islamic State gunmen were suspected of killing at least six Afghan employees of the ICRC on Wednesday as they carried supplies to areas in the north of the country hit by deadly snow storms, government officials said. Dominik Stillhart, ICRC director of operations worldwide, told Reuters Television in Geneva: "As we speak our operations are on hold indeed, because we need to understand what exactly happened before we can hopefully resume our operations." |
