KABUL, Afghanistan – The commander of the International Security Assistance Force joins President Karzai in condemning the two terror attacks which killed nine Afghans, including four children from the same family, Oct. 31.
The four related children were murdered by an IED explosion in Khajegan village of Nerkh district of Maidan Wardak. In a separate insurgent attack, five Afghans were killed and six wounded in a bombing at the UN High Commission for Refugees in Khandhar.
"These callous acts against civilians are just more examples of the insurgents’ murderous ways and lack of respect toward the Afghan people," said General John R. Allen, commander of the International Security Assistance Force. "Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families of these victims. Killing innocent civilians, and in particular the children who are the future of this great nation, is unacceptable and we will hold these terrorists accountable."
