Genocide terhadap Afganistan telah menunjukkan tidak gunanya keberadaan pasukan US di Afganistan. Kapan perlu diselesaikan demi kebaikan rakyat Afganistan? perlu dilakukan dialog, kerja sama dan kebersamaan tanpa memerlukan pasukan perang asing.
wassalam, --------------------------------------- U.S. Kills 12 Militants in Afghan Battles KABUL, Afghanistan - U.S. forces killed about a dozen militants in the past week, the military said Saturday, in efforts to keep Taliban- led rebels on the defensive ahead of Afghanistan (news - web sites)'s national elections. Afghan officials said another 12 militants were killed in a clash late Friday, but the U.S. military had no word on that fighting. The dozen deaths announced by the U.S. military occurred in skirmishes across the troubled south in which another dozen militants were detained, U.S. spokesman Maj. Jon Siepmann said. "I believe the figures are roughly a dozen killed and another dozen captured," Siepmann said. Several U.S. and allied troops were wounded, but none fatally, he said. Those fatalities bring to more than 120 the number of militants that American and Afghan officials have reported killed since U.S. Marines began a series of major operations in Taliban strongholds in late May. Seven U.S. troops and about 20 Afghan security forces have died in the same period. According to Ghulam Jailani, the deputy police chief of Zabul province, another 12 Taliban died in a battle with U.S. and Afghan troops late Friday. Jailani said the fighting began when rebels rocketed a checkpoint in Daychopan, a mountainous area of Zabul province 190 miles southwest of Kabul that has seen the fiercest fighting. Twelve militants were killed and four captured in a 10-minute exchange of fire before the rest fled, he said. None of the Americans or Afghans were hurt. U.S. and Afghan forces killed five militants and captured seven in the region on Wednesday, but U.S. spokeswoman Master Sgt. Cindy Beam said Saturday she had no reports of a fresh clash there. American commanders say the rebel losses are evidence that it is winning its battle against the Taliban and al-Qaida to ensure that elections can go ahead as planned in September, despite rebel threats to sabotage the process. But they also show the tenacity of resistance to the government of U.S.-backed President Hamid Karzai, two and a half years after the fall of the Taliban. ------------------------ Yahoo!
