CIA have blood on their hands here. They should never have used health care workers like that.

The dark side of politics comes home to roost. It is tragic.
It would seem the CIA bears some responsibility for this.

Three more polio workers killed. The world is mad.

What senselessness!

Well, what else can you expect from Taliban?

It just makes you despair!

Jess has a point and the Taliban are now making a propaganda exercise out of the rumour that spies pretending to offer health care were said to have confirmed Osama BLs whereabouts.

I believe the rumours about these vaccinations sterilzing Muslim girls was rife in Nigeria a few years ago and the lack of take up caused a big outbreak.

The Taliban will use any excuse to justify their 'murders'.

I started a thread on the 10th December, Womens Minister Killed In Afghanistan. The Taliban are barbaric and it's not worth blaming the C.I.A. Nobody carried out these atrocities, only the Taliban.

The Taliban would have been watching these people for ages, they knew perfectly well all their contacts and how they were deployed. They were sadly doing what the Taliban hates the most, helping the population.

How and when will it ever end. sad
