US airstrikes kill 8 police officers in Afghanistan

At least eight police officers have been killed in US airstrikes in Afghanistan’s embattled central province of Uruzgan, officials say.

A military commander said Monday one officer was killed in an initial airstrike targeting police checkpoint in the Saki area of Tirin Kot while seven others were killed in a follow-up strike.

Uruzgan deputy police chief Mohammed Qawi Omari put the death toll at six but said the police were killed by a foreign airstrike. Afghan officials said they were investigating the attack.

The US military command in Kabul confirmed that its warplanes had conducted an airstrike in the area, but said they targeted individuals firing on, and posing a threat to security forces.

The Taliban militant group also said a number of policemen had been killed in American raids in Tirin Kot.

According to provincial officials, Taliban militants briefly entered Tirin Kot in early September before being pushed back by security forces.

Afghanistan has been gripped by insecurity since the US and its allies invaded the country as part of Washington’s so-called war on terror in 2001. Many parts of the country still remain plagued by militancy despite the presence of foreign troops.

The military invasion removed Taliban, but militants still seek to wrest control over the war-ravaged country.

    BROTHERS AND SISTERS:

    The Super power of the universe, (THE PARASITES), are cowardly not only violating the air space of Afghanistan but also savagely attacking villages across the country.

    (We must help relieve the innocent peasants of!Afghanistan from the military occupation of the foreign psychopaths and their rapists camp followers).

    THE CRAZT RATS MUST GET KICKED OUT OFF THE GROUND AND AIRSPACES OF GREAT AFGHANISTAN.

    If the parasites don’t like the police officers; then, that is how they would get rid of them.

    The rats know exactly who is on the ground and even then, why they are not prosecuted of such crimes.

    IT IS BECAUSE THE INTERNATIONAL RATS WANT TO MINIMIZE THEIR LOSSES AND INFLICT MAXIMUM ATTROCITIES ON ALL PEOPLE OF AFGHANISTAN- every body is a suspect; so, do what ever you like under the freedom of the killing fields .

    IT IS AT ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PHASE OF MILITARY ENGAGEMENT WHERE THE INVADERS WANT TO AT LEASE SAVE A LITTLE FACE- SO, THE RATS GO TO THE EXTREME OF EVEN ATTACKING THEOR OWN SUPPORTS ON THE GROUND.
