KABUL, Afghanistan – Four Afghan civilians were injured by two separate improvised explosive devices in Badghis province Saturday. ISAF medics responded to the incidents.
According to initial reports a civilian was injured by an IED in the Bala Murghab District. He was immediately brought to the Forward Surgical Team at forward operating base Todd-Columbus for emergency care where he was stabilized and airlifted to the military hospital at Camp Zafar for further treatment.
The second IED blast, which injured three more civilians, occurred near Darreh Ye Bum. ISAF forces in Bala Murghab provided medical care and evacuated the injured to an ISAF medical facility.
“These events demonstrate the complete disregard that insurgents have for the lives of Afghan people,” said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. “Insurgents deliberately target civilians with suicide attacks and IEDs, with no regard for Afghan lives.”
“Eliminating militant IED operations is a key focus of ISAF,” said Torres. “The highly indiscriminate nature of IEDs makes them a threat not only to Afghanistan’s Security Forces and ISAF, but also to innocent Afghan civilians.”
