6 Afghan civilians killed in IED attacks
Insurgents killed six Afghan civilians and wounded three more in improvised explosive device attacks in Afghanistan on Wednesday, NATO's International Security Assistance Force said Thursday.
Four civilians were killed and three wounded in Zabul province in the south and two died in Nimroz province in the southwest.
Improvised explosive devices, which are homemade bombs, have been the weapon of choice for insurgents in Afghanistan.
ISAF said the United Nations has reported that incidents involving IEDs "increased by 94 percent within the first four months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009."
"ISAF remains committed to its mission to partner with the Afghan security forces to protect the Afghan people," said Col. Rafael Torres, an ISAF spokesman said.
"Eliminating the indiscriminate IED threat to civilians and military forces is a key focus for our operations."
Don't wanna be a martyr in this war
Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
That everything's a threat
And it's only gonna get worse if we let it
Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
Don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not
Though the politician and the priest
Live in the belly of the beast because we fed it
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now!

I know, what a putz.
why do the Talaban try and control the general poulation when that is close to impossible to find them all beacause they do such a good job of blending in with the general population perhaps handing out flyers would be a better stradagy than blowing up your fellow countrymen
Clean up your own back yard before commenting here you lying paki.
We wouldn't be there if the terrorists didn't run planes into our buildings. We wouldn't be there if you idiots would stop using the Islamic religion as some type of sick cult control... making people give their lives (like suicide bombers) for the cause of oppressing people and killing anyone who is not like you. Muhammad would be ashamed.
Well, Steve, those people are ignorant of the FACTS of things. NATO and the Taliban both kill civilians, and the Taliban has admitted that they will slaughter any civilians accused of having anything to do with the government, and civilians who do not agree with their Islamist ideologies. It is all about power and control.
Now, sit back and wait for the jihadists to come in here and issue death threats and attempt to shove their dogma down everyone's throats.
You got that right. If he could he would like to pick and chose who died according to his twisted agenda.
I'd like to see the posts from all the people who constantly bash the US/NATO whenever they kill a civilian. Where are you now that these civilians were killed by the Taliban?
Will you stop with that right-wing bla-bla-bla!It's getting awfully old!!!
Not really, buddy. I present a valid point. I haven't seen one post yet about how the Taliban is horrible and evil and wrong for killing these civilians. I only see idiotic banter from people like you.
