The Taliban Calls Out For Help
The Taliban has urged the United Nations to press the Afghan government to stop executions.
“We strongly request the U.N., the EU, the Red Cross and human rights groups to earnestly prevent this barbaric act,” the Taliban said in a statement on their website, accusing Karzai’s government of corruption.
This has something to do with Afghanistan executing four men today, including three linked to deadly attacks by Taliban and al Qaeda insurgents.
Poor Babies.
Here’s a short list of Barbaric acts by the Taliban:
- Yesterday two Taliban fighters poured acid on the faces of four schoolgirls in Kandahar.
- Five days ago, a Taliban force intentionally mixed in with a wedding party in Kandahar. The Taliban continued fighting and prevented the civilians from leaving. NATO forces called in an airstrike, which resulted in the death of 27 Taliban fighters and 36 civilians.
- A week ago, Taliban fighters halted a bus in Kandahar and dragged all thirty passengers off. All of the passengers, including women and children, were murdered. Six were beheaded.
Not to mention the Arena hangings they replaced soccer games with for five years.
The UN released the expected condemnation- of the Afghan government – “citing concern about the standards of judicial fairness.”
Let the hangings begin..
