Yup, the Zionist War Dailies always filter and forget beautifully innocent people who NEVER DID ANYTHING TO US!!!!
And I'll bet you thought that the killers and looters are the Taliban.
THINK AGAIN, readers!
"UN says militants killed aid workers; 34 reported slain in Afghanistan" by Fisnik Abrashi/Associated Press October 29, 2007
KABUL, Afghanistan - The United Nations yesterday accused militants and criminals of killing 34 aid workers in Afghanistan this year and urged armed groups to stop attacking humanitarian convoys so food can reach millions of poor Afghans.
Underscoring the country's increasing violence, a six-hour battle in the country's south left more than 50 militants dead and wounded, while a roadside bomb killed a U.S.-led coalition soldier in the same region.
The U.N.'s plea for access to the needy comes as Afghanistan is going through one of the most violent periods since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. More than 5,300 people have died this year in insurgency related violence, according to an Associated Press count based on figures from Afghan and Western officials.
Insurgents and criminal gangs have killed 34 aid workers this year, abducted 76 others and attacked or looted 55 aid convoys, said Tom Koenigs, the head of the U.N. Assistance Mission to Afghanistan.
Koenigs told reporters: "The attacks on humanitarian aid must stop. Those responsible for these attacks and for the insecurity are pushing the most vulnerable people outside of our reach. Those responsible for these attacks need to know that they are attacking the welfare of Afghanistan's most vulnerable communities.
The continued conflict has tremendously worsened humanitarian situation in the country and 78 districts in the country are rated as extremely risky' for U.N. workers to operate. Reaching the people is not a political issue, it is a humanitarian priority.''
And the 75 air raids a day must ALSO STOP, no, U.N. puke?
The majority of the aid workers attacked in 2007 were Afghan nationals, including doctors, de-miners and engineers, the U.N. said.
Rick Corsino, the country director for the U.N.'s World Food Program:
"The number of attacks on convoys has increased six-fold this year from 2006. In a majority of these incidents, food was looted ... and so far we have lost something like 1,000 tons of food. We have not moved any food between (southern city of) Kandahar and Herat (in the west) for the past six weeks."
There have been 30 attacks on WFP food convoys so far this year, mainly in the country's south, compared with five attacks in 2006.
The violence that has swept the country's south has prevented the WFP from moving any aid convoys in the last six weeks on the highway that connects the country's major southern city, Kandahar, and the major western city, Herat, he said.
And CUI BONO?
Taliban want their own to starve, right?
Something doesn't quite make sense here!
Authorities have six weeks to reach about 400,000 Afghans living at high elevations before winter sets in, Corsino said. Nearly 5 million Afghans need food aid. The WFP has already distributed 220,000 tons worth $150 million this year, he said.
The fighting in the south saw NATO-led forces and Afghan troops launch an attack on Baluch village in southern Uruzgan Province during a gathering of local Taliban on Sunday, Afghan authorities said.
The Defense Ministry said: "More than 50 enemies were killed or wounded and 13 others detained during the joint operation."
Major Charles Anthony, a spokesman for NATO's International Security Assisstance Force, said that "several dozen militants were killed."
Separately, a roadside bomb in the Sangin district of another southern province, Helmand, killed a soldier in the US-led coalition and another wounded as they helped deliver supplies for the Afghan National Army, a coalition statement. Their nationalities were not released.
Elsewhere in Helmand, a suicide bomber blew himself up next to a taxi stand in the provincial capital, Lashkar Gah, killing three civilians and a policeman, the Interior Ministry said. Six people were wounded.
Continuing an Afghan government campaign against unregistered private security firms, Afghan police raided and shut down a British-based security company in Kabul yesterday.
Unregistered and Illegal Contractors in Afghanistan?
What are they doing there?
Police arrested three Afghan guards and the Afghan director of Olympus Security Group for operating without a license, the eighth such firm to be closed this month.
And this is the FIRST I've heard of it!!!!!! Pffffffffttttt!
So WHY is Afghanistan closing down the contractors?
Ali Shah Paktiawal, director of criminal investigations for the Kabul police, said previously that 12 or 13 security companies would be targeted in the closures:
"Today was No. 8. Tomorrow will be No. 9."
Olympus, which has only a small presence in Kabul, is the first foreign security company to be shut down following the closures of seven Afghan firms. A woman who answered the phone at the company's headquarters in Gloucestershire said no one was immediately available to speak about the company's Afghan operations.
Officials say some of Kabul's security firms are suspected of involvement in criminal activity such as killings and robbery.
And THERE IS YOUR AID WORKER MURDERERS and FOOD THIEVES, right there!!!
WESTERN CONTRACTORS!!!!!!!!!!
Not Taliban or "Al-CIA-Duh" -- well, maybe them -- or "terrorists!"
But WESTERN "SECURITY" CONTRACTORS!!!!!!!!!!
Part of a "job-security" plan?
Or just inflicting that much more suffering upon the poor Afghanis, war-profiteers?
About 60 security companies are registered with the government, but two dozen others are thought to be in existence.
Sixty?!?! Cha-Ching!!!!!!!! "Security" = $$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!
And rather than tell us about the actual wars, the NYT puts out another slop-shit propaganda piece!!!!
"Foreign Fighters of Violent Bent Bolster Taliban"
Setting up the blame for the next 9/11, 'eh, racist NaZionist shitters?!
I mean really!
Yup, Muslims are "violent-bent!"
Then what the fuck does that make Israel and the United States?
"GENOCIDE-BENT?"
