Tribesmen attack Afghan Consulate |
2006-03-26 |
Up to 450 relatives of the 16 Pakistani tribesmen killed by Afghan security forces held a protest rally outside the Afghan Consulate in Quetta on Saturday, police said. Condemning the killings and demanding that those responsible be punished, the protestors threw stones at the Consulate and tore down and burned a picture of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, displayed at the gate of the building. The crowd chanted "Down with Karzai and Death to Afghanistan", before being baton-charged by police, according to witnesses. Local area police chief Zahid Afaq said that no one had been injured during the protest. Islamabad has already registered a complaint with Kabul over last Tuesday's killings. Pakistan rejected claims made last week by Afghan army Abdul Razzak that the group were Taliban members, insisting that the men had been on their way to celebrate the Afghan New Year. |

#2 Oh, yeah... the "Afghan New Year". Sounds legit to me. And is that a loaf of bread flying through the air? |
