CNEWS:Fatal attack on Chinese in Afghan province “not terrorism,” minister says
Canadian news site reports that the bombing of a peacekeeping force vehicle and the murder of some 11 Chinese workers in northern Afghanistan was “not terrorism”. These supposed non-attacks non-occurred in Kunduz on the 10th fo June. Kunduz, significantly, is the first town outside Kabul to get a detachment of ISAF peacekeepers, in this case German troops. (You know, those evil, corrupt, weak on terrorism Germans.) But – according to the Afghan Interior Minister – this wasn’t terrorism, but perhaps “competition between rival companies”. Companies in what business? This sounds more like the infamous incident when two Kandahari Taliban leaders shot it out in tanks to settle a dispute over their favourite dancing boy. What with things like this “non-terrorist” massacre and Iraqi PM Allawi’s statement that models of democracy “imported from other countries” can’t apply to Iraq, our world democratic crusade is clearly doing fine.
