Islam Times - US-led forces intentionally killing Afghan civilians: Former PM

Islam Times - Former Afghan Prime Minister Ahmad Shah Ahmadzai has accused the US-led forces in Afghanistan of intentionally killing civilians.

“Since Americans and NATO came to Afghanistan, they are killing and committing many mistakes and crimes, especially in the night raids, they are killing innocent children, men and women, not those who they want to kill,” he told Press TV from Kabul on Monday.

“They are doing this intentionally, unfortunately. While they say they are in favor of human rights, justice, and so on, what they are doing in Afghanistan is completely against human rights and human justice,” he added.

The former official also called on the US-led forces to withdraw from the war-torn Afghanistan.

“They only solution is that the Western forces must leave, specially Americans must leave, if they want peace in this country. If they don’t leave, this means they are intentionally after the killing of the Afghans and there will be no end to this war until they are militarily present in Afghan soil,” Ahmadzai said.

US-led operations that led to civilian casualties have sparked demonstrations across the country. The Afghan government has repeatedly condemned the attacks.
