| 2018-10-28 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least five non-combatants were killed or maimed in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) kaboom in southeastern Ghazni province of Afghanistan. The 203rd Thunder Corps of the Afghan Military in the southeast in a statement said the incident has taken place in the vicinity of Moqor district. The statement further added that a Toyota Corolla type vehicle struck an IED planted on a roadside in Chahardehi area of the district, leaving two civilians dead and three more maimed. The Talibs and other Lions of Islam including ISIS often use improvised bomb as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces and government officials. However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... in majority of such attacks the ordinary civilians are killed while in some cases the Talibs are themselves blown up in premature kabooms. Anti-government elements must immediately end the indiscriminate and disproportionate use of all improvised bombs (IEDs) in areas frequented by civilians, said UNAMA in a special human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights,mind you... report released few weeks earlier. The special report ‐ titled "Increasing Harm to Afghan Civilians form the Deliberate and Indiscriminate Use of Improvised Explosive Devices" ‐ documents a sharp increase from 1 January ‐ 30 September 2018 in the killing and maiming of Afghan civilians by IEDs, which have caused almost half of the civilian casualties from conflict-related violence. |
