| Militants Have Never Been Trained in Afghanistan: MoI |
| 2011-01-31 |
| [Tolo News] Insurgents have never been trained and equipped within the Afghan territory, a bigwig in Ministry of Interior Affairs (MoI) said Sunday. Officials in the MoI described the Friday suicide kaboom in Kabul the deadliest beturbanned goon attack in the whole past week. Kabul suicide kaboom that targeted a busy supermarket on Friday left the entire members of a prominent Afghan family dead. Later on Gulbuddin Hekmatyar ... who used to be known as The Most Evil Man in the Worldbut who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil... grabbed credit for the attack. More than 90 terrorist attacks happened all across the country during the past week, MoI said. Officials in Kabul have persistently denied the claim that beturbanned goon groups were trained and prepared for attacks in Afghanistan. Today once again Interior Ministry Spokesperson Zemarai Bashari emphasised that there were no training facilities where gunnies receive arms and training. ""There are no training centres of gunnies in Afghanistan,"" said Mr Bashari. In the past several days different parts of the county were hit by a wave of bloody attacks by beturbanned goons. At least 18 of the 24 civilians killed in Taliban-led attacks in the past week bit the dust on Friday attacks. Following the Kabul suicide kaboom, which targeted a busy diplomatic area, Afghan cops are on high alert and there are more police patrols in Kabul. Violence in the past week claimed lives of 100 people, including 30 coppers and more than 50 beturbanned goons. The figures indicated that there has been a 50-percent rise in police corpse count and a significant downturn in jihad boys" fatalities, according to the MoI. Kabul citizens, who have been more vulnerable in the beturbanned goon attacks, call on the government to bolster security efforts in all parts of the country including Kabul. ""We have lost lots of lives in the past three decades of war. We no longer want war in our country, we want peace,"" Karim a citizen in Kabul told TOLOnews. |
