It was the joyous day of Eid ul Adha! People in the northern province of Baghlan were coming out of a Mosque after offering the prayers and greeting each other. Thats when a teenager approached a group of elders and detonated the suicide jacket, killing seven people on the spot. A day later in Badghis province, a roadside bomb killed 9 civilian members of the same family, including women and children when they were travelling to go greet other family members in the next town.
The barbaric Taliban did not even spare innocent people on one of the holiest day of the year. The irony is that on Friday, a website used by the Taliban posted a message purported to be from Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, who called on insurgents to take every step to protect the lives and wealth of ordinary people. Two days later, in just two attacks, over twenty innocents were killed and many injured in another ferocious display of terror.
The Taliban Hypocrisy continues, and they keep killing without remorse. The hypocrisy goes as far as using young children as suicide bombers to carry out their evil motives. The message to protect the civilians is just hogwash, while mayhem continues. According to a UN report, just in the first six months of this year the civilian casualties have been up by 15%, most coming at the hands of Taliban. It is time for those who give the Taliban an iota of leeway to rethink and take a second look at their acts of terror. Dont you clearly see that these terrorists are attempting to deceive us just so they can continue their mission of death and intimidation?
