Taliban leader Mullah Omar is urging his followers to avoid killing Afghan civilians.

Omar said militants should not harm civilians in order to maintain good relations with the general population.

His remarks were posted on the Taliban's website ahead of the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha or the “Feast of Sacrifice.”

In his statement, Omar says Afghan civilians should take precautionary measures to keep themselves safe from attacks, including staying away from U.S. troops on patrol.

Civilian deaths have increased as the war in Afghanistan enters its 11th year. The United Nations says the number of civilians killed went up by 15 percent in the first half of 2011, with nearly 1,500 deaths due mostly to insurgent attacks.

The British Defense Ministry said Friday an insurgent attack killed a British soldier the day before, while he was on patrol in the Nahr-e Saraj district of southern Helmand province.

Mullah Omar, Taliban Chief, Asks Militants To Protect Civilians

KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban's reclusive leader said in a Muslim holiday message on Friday that his fighters must protect Afghan civilians, who are dying in rising numbers, so the insurgency can maintain good relations with the population.

Mullah Mohammad Omar posted his message on the Taliban's website ahead of next week's Eid al-Adha, or Feast of Sacrifice, when Muslims around the world slaughter sheep and cattle in remembrance of Abraham's near-sacrifice of his son.

In a midyear report, the U.N. said 1,462 Afghan civilians were killed in the crossfire between Taliban insurgents and Afghan, U.S. and NATO forces during the first half of this year – up 15 percent from the same period a year earlier.

The U.N. report attributed 80 percent of the civilian deaths to insurgents and others fighting against the Afghan government. International troops and other pro-government forces were to blame for 14 percent of the deaths; 6 percent were not attributed to any side.

Omar said civilian casualties must be extensively investigated.

"If it is irrefutably proven that the blood of innocent Muslims is spilled by the negligence of mujahedeen, then a penalty should be implemented in accordance with Shariah (Islamic law) ... and all steps should be taken to seek the pardon" of those affected by the killings, he said.

Omar said civilians also need to take steps to keep themselves safe.

"The common folk ... should avoid moving in close proximity to Americans that patrol in villages and countryside" because they are being targeted by the insurgents, he said.

The message, which the Taliban posted in English and other languages, was reported by the U.S.-based SITE Intel Group, which tracks militant websites.

The Taliban leader also claimed his fighters were winning the war and that support for the conflict among the U.S. public was waning.

The U.S.-led coalition has a different view.

Late last month, the coalition released statistics showing that since May of this year, the monthly number of enemy attacks has been lower than in 2010 – something not seen since 2007.

The coalition said the Taliban were relying more on roadside bombs to fight the war instead of shooting at better-armed international troops. Roadside bomb activity, which includes both explosions and attempted bombings, rose 25 percent in the first eight months of the year compared with last year, the coalition said.

Principles are what you fight for. For most of us at PDF that refers to what we write. But the mullahs out there who command followers must be judged by what they do. As Omar's followers make a point of terrorizing and killing civilians, that is one of his principles; what he says counts as deception.

You can hardly say that americans have more principles than taleban. You and your lot are invaders. I would like to see how many americans for their priciples will wear pyjamas and with just rifles mayb ak47s and rpg take on F16s and stealth bombers and heavily armed troops drones etc

 

[Last Hope]

Why do we care what he says? Does that matter? Does this mean we are going to be soft-hearted for him now? Will he now be our friend?

NO.

So why bother posting what he says?

bro their communication sys (media handling) is much stronger than any one of high official

 

[Jango]

So, it is not good to kill Afghan Civilians, but you should be doing something to stop killings of pakistani civilians as well you faggot mullah.

I wouldn't say that ; Americans are at least as honourable as the Pakistanis are. Heck, no single American invasion has come close to the genocide achieved by Pakistan in 1971. The PA was even more principled than any American armed invasion in systematically raping over 100,000 women during their nine month civil war. The Americans ought to take a leaf out the Pakistani Green Book.

so the most wanted men on the planet can freely communicate with media without being discovered?

That must be better encryption than what the super computers of CIA can ever do...
