BRITISH SOLDIERS COME UNDER FIRE FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS WEEK
KABUL(Radio Report) :
Unknown assailants launched yet another organized offensive against peacekeeping troops.
The apparent target were British soldiers although no authentic reports have been received as to the number of casualties.
The attack is believed to have happened on around 2030 local time.
Peacekeeping troops, as has become normal practise in Kabul, were out in their checkpoints in order to maintain the curfew and be on the look out for any suspicious activity.
It was at this time that they were attacked by waves of automatic gunfire.
The soldiers, with the help of nearby Afghan police, returned fire in their usual haphazard fashion.
The assailants seemed to have got away.
Consequently, security around this region has been tightened and the local people have been warned not to leave their houses at night, probably because of the trigger happy panicked nature of British soldiers.
This has been the second attack within the space of a week upon occupying peacekeeping forces.
One wonders how far the Muslim Afghan patience of allowing foreign occupiers on their land will last.
POWERFUL EXPLOSION ROCKS SHOPS IN KHOST
MEERANSHAH(KPI):
A powerful explosion was set off in a shopping centre in the Afghan province of Khost.
The shops targeted had been selling musical cassettes and instruments together with video players and televisions.
All music and television had been banned under the Taliban, for reasons obvious to any self respecting Muslim.
It is believed that unknown men came at night and set off powerful bombs, targeting the abovementioned shops.
The ensuing powerful explosion completely destroyed all of these shops with an estimated million rupees worth of damages.
It is becoming evident that the Muslims of Afghanistan, who had once lived under the justice and peace of Islamic Law, are vehemently opposed to those things that will rob their people of their innocence and weaken their society with the tools of disbelief.
