| Nato Kabul Offensive Against Afghan Rules: Govt |
| 2010-12-28 |
| [Tolo News] A top official in Afghan Ministry of Interior Affairs (MoI) Monday called Nato operation on a private security firm in Kabul against rules. Ministry of Interior Affairs reiterated that the operation, which was carried out on Friday in the capital Kabul, was not launched in coordination with Afghan cops. While describing the attack as "disappointing", the front man for MoI, Zemarai Bashari, said Kabul security responsibility was handed over to Afghan forces two years ago and since then foreign troops have no right to conduct offensives in the capital. "The operation should have been carried out under Afghan forces' leadership," Mr Bashari told news hounds. President Karzai's Office also called the attack "irresponsible" and commented that such kinds of attacks could flare up fear among people. "Units within the Interior Ministry without the information of the higher ups in the hierarchy in the ministry had taken part in the operation. And the conclusion in the National Security Council as it was announced yesterday was that this operation was unnecessary and was conducted in a way that should not have been conducted within the Kabul city. It was something that the police should have carried out," said President Karzai's Spokesperson, Wahid Omar. But Isaf media command said the operation was carried out by Nato with coordination of Afghan cops. "Isaf coordinated with Afghan cops to move on to the area of interest, so we followed the usual procedures and the operation was partnered," said Isaf front man, General Josef Blotz. Isaf had previously acknowledged in a statement that those killed in the operation were suspected bully boys. |
