Representatives from Wardak in the parliament, said Saturday
that both Afghan and foreign forces launch attacks there nearly every day and
do not respect war laws. They said that most of the victims of such attacks are
civilians.
Meanwhile, the human rights commission also expresses
concerns over civilian casualties by government forces and Taliban fighters.
The commission called on the war parties to pay respect to
the war law and avoid killing of innocent people.

in different provinces in the past that sparked public anger.
