Afghanistan, growing protests after NATO raid

The script seems to be the tragic protest in Mazar-e-Sharif on April 1 last year, when the UN compound was hit by a crowd of protesters and twelve people, including UN staff, guards and Afghan civilians, were killed. This morning several hundred people demonstrated outside the headquarters of the Provincial Reconstruction Team Taloqan, the capital of Takhar province in northern Afghanistan.

Protesting against NATO and Afghan Army raid, which occurred just outside a few hours before Taloqan, and claimed the lives of at least four people. According to NATO, were guerrillas, according to the protesters were civilians. "A group of gunmen infiltrated the crowd and tried to attack the offices of the PRT," reconstructs Ahmzai Lal Mohammed, press officer of the 303 ° brigade stationed in the Pamir.
