@DarkerStar: Poor Afghan laborers are get killed even when building a government funded hospital or road, by the very 'strategic assets' of Pakistan in Afghanistan, yet the Ummat Newspaper [Karachi] celebrate their death and read that a victory by the holy Mujahiddin 'taking on' the American invaders. Now, why do you associate this killings to the Afghan government and it's people? They were building a security check post for the Afghan Security Forces. You have to blame your government's favorite elements [The Afghan Taliban] for this.
