“Despicable, is the only word to describe the cold, heartless way in which the enemies of peace carried out this attack, detonating an IED in the middle of a large crowd of civilians.”-General John R. Allen, USMC
On April 5, 2012, U.S. Marine Corps General Allen whined about the April 4th attack on U.S. led forces in Faryab Province. Hello, it’s called war! You are the invader! You are the enemy of Peace! The Afghans had nothing to do with any terrorist attacks on the United States!
General Allen has also predicted an increase in fighting in eastern Afghanistan, and that this year could be the most vital regarding the West’s efforts in the so called War on Terror.
In Kandahar Province, yet another U.S./NATO/ISAF fuel convoy was attacked and burned to the ground. The fuelers were parked at the Kandahar International airport (which is supposed to be under U.S. control).
Three drivers were wounded.
In Badakhshan Province, two explosions, one caused by a suicide bomber, and another afterwards. Local police say two people were killed, at least 16 wounded.
A local market was the target, no claims of responsibility. The explosions took place soon after the Mujahideen released 11 Afghan border police, that they had capture just days earlier. The prisoner release was arraigned by local elders.
Afghan Defense Ministry says in the past 24 hours at least three government troops were killed, as well as five Mujahideen, in various battles.
Only one province was mentioned, Ghazni, bu it sounded like battles took place in several provinces.
