Taliban Threaten Canadian Civilians

The taliban are threatening to kill more Canadian aid workers after killing three, which two of them were from Canada. The taliban want Canadian troops to leave Afghanistan or they will continue to target civilian aid workers.

I got some news for the taliban...Canadian troops aren't goling anywhere. Globe & Mail


KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN -- The Taliban issued an open letter to Canada yesterday, saying more Canadian blood will be spilled if the country's troops are not pulled out of Afghanistan.

The broad threat, which was aimed at civilian rather than military targets, came just days after four aid workers, including two Canadians, were gunned down in Logar near Kabul.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for that attack yesterday, saying it was an act of revenge.

In an interview with The Globe and Mail conducted several hours before the letter was made public, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the killing of the aid workers was retaliation for the U.S. bombing of a wedding party in Jalalabad on July 6.
