New statement from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan: "Commission for Military Affairs Department for the Prevention of Civilian Casualties: Regarding Use of Chemical Weapons and Indiscriminate Civilian Casualties Caused By the Enemy in Shorabak"

On the 8th of August of the ongoing year (2015) US forces accompanied by Commander Abdul Razziq, the head of border police forces and the current police chief of Kandahar, carried out a raid on Saman Karez village in Sarlat area of Shorabak district.
The American invading forces brutally targeted the home of Haji Abdul Ali Aka with the initiation of the operation, martyring 13 family members on the spot while injuring 2 women and 5 children before detaining and taking them to an undisclosed location.
The villagers, hearing about the raid and attack of the American invaders and militias of General Razziq, began fleeing their homes towards the nearby mountains. The civilians most of whom were women, children and the elderly and in spite of the fact that the savage enemy saw that most were women and children, they brutally targeted them with helicopters and martyred 21. The names and details of the innocent civilians are as follow:
Hafizullah with 5 family members: Hafizullah himself, his two sons (Nasibullah and Attaullah), his wife, daughter-in-law and brother-in-law.
3 family members of Haji Muhammad Gul Aka : His wife, daughter and son, Bashir.
Din Muhammad with 5 family members: Din Muhammad himself, his 2 sons, daughter-in-law and 2 grand children while another grand child was injured.
Muhammad Naeem.
The son of Abdul Ghani who is currently serving jail term in Kandahar.
The son of Naimatullah.
The son of Dost Muhammad.
The daughter of Sahib Khan.
Muhammad Tahir along with his son.
On top of the above mentioned human losses, the locals also sustained heavy material losses as well; their vehicles were burnt, their money was stolen while 3 other innocent civilians were also detained.
On this same day the enemy forcesused a chemical gas during their operation in Sarlat region’s Rod area and also poured acid on the bodies of some martyrs.
The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns this act of the cowardly enemy and considers it a clear sign of their weakness due to their inability of facing the Mujahideen and targeting defenseless civilians to avenge their defeat.
We call upon all independent human right organizations and its active members to raise their voice and condemn this huge violation by the Americans and their internal support forces so that all human right conventions and charters are applied uniformly.
