ISAF commander joins president of Afghanistan in condemning rocket attack in Kapisa province
KABUL,
Afghanistan – Gen. John R. Allen, commander of the International
Security Assistance Force, joins Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai in
condemning a rocket attack on a residence in the Allasai district of
Kapisa province that killed a woman and a child. The two rockets
launched by insurgents in a deliberate attack also injured seven other
innocent civilians.
"Continued deliberate attacks on the people of Afghanistan that result in the brutal murder of defenseless women and children clearly show that this heartless insurgency has no moral compass whatsoever," said General Allen. "I join President Karzai in extending my deepest sympathies to the families of those who were killed, and in praying for the fastest recovery of those who were injured in this needless tragedy."
"Mullah Omar's deafening silence and inaction in stopping these ongoing attacks against innocent Afghan civilians shows that his foot soldiers are now giving the orders while he and his inner circle reside in comfort, allowing the killing of their own brothers and sisters," Allen continued. "We vow to eradicate those who commit these evil acts, and we further pledge to the people of Afghanistan that we will stop at nothing to see that those responsible for these evil crimes are held to account."
