AIHRC Calls Civilian Deaths War Crime
2011-01-14
[Tolo News] More than 70% of civilians have been killed in attacks carried out by the Taliban, a bigwig at Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIGRC) said on Thursday.

While condemning attacks that claim civilian lives, AIHRC described the attacks against international laws.
But it's only a war crime if the civilians were deliberately attacked, or if they're used as human shields. The Taliban would never do such things, because they're the purest Muslims in the world. They even have official rules against keeping beautiful boys in their quarters.
In the latest suicide kaboom that hit Kabul during rush hour on Wednesday morning, most of the dead and maimed were civilians.

Following the attack, Taliban said they have targeted Afghan intelligence staff, but doctors in Esteqlal Hospital in Kabul said a father along with his young son, who were on their way to the hospital, died in the attack.

"A large number of civilians were hurt in the incident," said Nader Naderi, a member of AIHRC.

Religious leaders condemned the suicide kaboom and said these kinds of attacks are totally against Islamic ethics.

"Either way, one would be considered a murderer, whether one kills himself or other people," said Mawlawi Mohammad Essa, a religious leader.
Could you speak a little louder, and into the microphone?
The Wednesday suicide kaboom in Kabul, the fiercest of its kind in months, claimed two lives and 32 others were maimed. Officials said some people suffering from psychology illnesses were also seen among the maimed.

#2  Labels won't do much for the Taliban, but maybe some public fatwas by Muslim leaders and lakshar would be more useful.
