Afghanistan Rethinks Alien Army Presence

By Prensa Latina,

Kabul : Afghanistan Council of Ministers will ask its defense and foreign ministers to renegotiate foreign military presence after a recent US air raid killed tens of women and children.

The release calls to set limits and demand responsibility to those troops according to national and world laws and end air raid of civilian targets, and quit persecution and illegal detentions.

The Afghan Council of Ministers condemned Friday’s fatal raid by US troops on Shindand district, Herat that killed 89 civilians, mostly women and children.

Minister for Religious Affairs and Commission President Nematula Shanhrani said the raid was ruthless due to the number of houses destroyed, but the US assured they just killed 30 insurgents.

The foreign troops have been accused of killing numerous civilians in anti-rebel operations and the raids by foreign troops had claimed in May 200 lives, said UN special Rapporteur Philip Alston.
