"Calls for action to be taken by the Kabul government and foreign forces to address the highway's growing dangers have become increased in volume and frequency as of late. The Governors of Ghazni, Maidan Wardak, Zabul and Kandahar provinces held a meeting on Sunday in Maidan Shahr, the capital city of Wardak province, to address the concerns of logistics and supply companies who have been subject to Taliban attacks on the Kabul-Kandahar highway.
Last month, a number of oil tanker drivers met with the Internal Security and Justice Committee of the Lower House to express their concerns over the increasing attacks by the Taliban on the Kabul-Kandahar highway. According to reports, over 570 oil tankers use the highway every day, and the Taliban targets at least three-a-day on average.
According to Muhammad Jan Rasoulyar, the Deputy Governor of Zabul, innocent civilians are often the victims of the Talibans' attacks along the road."
