JALALABAD:
At least five members of a family were killed after an insurgent mortar hit their house in eastern Afghanistan, Afghan provincial authorities said Saturday.
“Five Afghan civilians, four women and a man were killed in an enemy mortar attack in Alingar district of Laghman province late Friday evening,” provincial police chief, Daud Amin, told AFP.
Amin said eleven other members of the family were wounded in the mortar attack.
Laghman provincial governor spokesperson, Sarhadi Zwak, confirmed the mortar attack and gave the same death toll.
Zwak said women and children were among the wounded in the attack.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
It comes as the Taliban insurgents have announced their annual spring offensive – vowing to target Afghan police, army and intelligence officials.
IF TALIBAN INSURGENTS R OFFENSIVE AND BRUTAL IN THEIR ATTACKS THEN WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING TO RESOLVE TERRORISM IN THE LAND? HOW ABOUT REINFORCEMENT OF UR ARMY AND POLICE MEN WITH YOUR NATIONAL GUARDS AND INTELLIGENCE GROUP TO SUBDUE THE TERRORISTS.. ARREST THE REBELS/TERRORISTS AND JAIL THEM
DAMN it is a LOOSING BATTLE, LOCALS are hand in GLOVE with these terrorists. REMEMBER, ISLAM divide shiya and sunni. As long as the divide EXISTS, it is WASTE OF EFFORT AND AID.
HUMAN LIVES are more precious and do not send them to fight to save the rest. Let them decide what they WANT?
