| 2013-04-05 |
| [Al Jizz] A NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... air strike has killed four Afghan police and two civilians in the central-east Ghazni province, Afghan officials have said. A front man for the US-led NATO force in Kabul told the AFP news agency on Thursday that the military was checking the information. The attack happened after Taliban Death Eaters attacked a local police post in eastern Ghazni province before dawn and NATO planes were called in to support the officers under attack. "The NATO planes went there to assist the police, but the post was bombed and four police were killed. Two civilians present were also killed," Fazul Ahmad Tolwak, chief of Ghazni's Deh Yak district, told AFP. Ghazni provincial administration front man Fazul Sabawoon confirmed the incident and gave a similar account. |

| #2 All you have to do is take the weapons and you suddenly have a dead group of civilians killed for no reason. The press will never got the message that insurgents or terrorists or whatever you want to call irregular nutjobs with mayhem on their agenda do not wear uniforms, do not follow the rules of war, and did not sign the Geneva Convention. |
