KABUL, Afghanistan - Two Afghan civilians, including a child, were killed and one wounded in improvised explosive device attacks in Helmand and Uruzgan provinces today, Aug. 4.
One civilian was killed and one wounded when insurgents detonated an IED in the Deh Rawud bazaar in Uruzgan. Jan Mohammad, former governor of Uruzgan and current tribal affairs advisor to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, was the target of the insurgents' attack, according to officials.
In the Musa Qal'ah District of Helmand, an Afghan child was killed in an insurgent IED explosion.
"These attacks demonstrate the Taliban's disregard for Mullah Omar's new 'Code of Conduct' that says they should not harm innocent civilians," said Col. James Dawkins, ISAF Joint Command's Combined Joint Operations Center director. "Together with our Afghan partners we will continue to hunt down the people responsible for these violent and cowardly crimes."
According to ISAF records, more than 600 civilians have been killed and more than 1,400 wounded by insurgents since the beginning of 2010.
