Islamist terrorists continued their campaign of murdering Afghan Civilians into the weekend, attacking mosques, markets, and mini-vans. In 6 attacks across 5 provinces, the Taliban killed 14 and wounded 49, bringing the continued condemnation of US & International Forces, President Karzai, and the silence of the MSM.
In Herat, the Taliban murdered 2 kids, 2 women and a man traveling in a minivan, injuring another 5 who were treated by US Troops. Meanwhile, two Talib thugs got a taste of the Sharia "justice" they like to inflict on others, when they were stoned to death for murdering a local elder.

According to reports, the suicide attack in Lashkar Gah City murdered four and wounded several while two attacks in Kandahar City resulted in more than 20 wounded with the majority of them being children.
"This is another example of the insurgents having no regard for the Afghan people," said Gen. Allen. "Attacking innocent civilians to include such a large number of children is an inexcusable and a cowardly act."
KABUL, Afghanistan - Gen. John R. Allen, Commander of International Security Assistance Force, joins President Karzai and the Ministry of Interior in condemning Friday's reckless insurgent attacks which killed five innocent Afghans, including a woman, and wounded 24 in Herat and Faryab.
According to reports, explosives were detonated at a public place in Herat and near a mosque in Faryab.
"Again, insurgents have murdered and maimed innocent civilians," said Allen.
