| Demonstrators in Gardez Today |
"Eight demonstrators and three police sustained injuries as police opened fire to disperse the demonstrators but the demonstrators resisted and hurled stones on police in provincial capital Gardez city today," Safi told several western news outlets.
The protest took place in the wake of alleged killing of seven civilians by NATO-led troops in Gardez city early Saturday.
Meantime, locals said that NATO-led troops raided the compound of a construction company early Saturday killing seven guards of the firm, all are innocent Afghans.
However, NATO-led Coalition forces insisted those killed in the operation were 'militants' who were involved in carrying out subversive activities.
The alliance in a statement released here said," Coalition forces are 'looking into' allegations that seven members of a private security company were killed during an Afghan and coalition force operation in Paktia province early today."
Prepare for a farcical week as Washington unrolls its version of Afghanistan. Credit where credit is due; the White House and Pentagon, through the servile U.S. media, have successfully implemented their plan. The December review and July 2011 were scams from the beginning, false checkpoints designed to portray the image of de-escalation. Not only have they served to justify the war's continuation, but its intensity as well.
