Senior Afghan officials visited villages to try and calm things down, instead they were attacked. One Afghan soldier was killed, and one soldier was wounded along with a military attorney.
“Today, the Kandahar governor was trying to explain to the villagers that he was only one soldier [referring to U.S. soldier], that he was not a sane person and that he was sick. But the people were just shouting and they were very angry. They didn’t listen to the governor. They accused him of defending the Americans instead of defending the Kandahari people.”-Abdul Rahim Ayubi, a Kandahar politician
Two of the officials that were attacked are brothers of President Hamid Karzai.
In the Afghan senate unanimous calls for action against the United States, and accusations against Human Rights organizations. Senators pointed out that little is being said by human rights organizations, including the UN’s Human Rights Commission. Human rights organizations are quick to condemn Syria, but where are they regarding the genocide being committed by the U.S. in Afghanistan?
Other Afghan senators said the U.S. will face the same fate as the former Soviet Union.
As this is going on, Afghan police, led by U.S./NATO/ISAF forces, have killed two Afghans and detained seven. The Afghan Interior Ministry says it was the result of five separate operations in the past 24 hours. They took place in Kabul, Helmand, Uruzgan, Logar and Khost provinces.
