Taliban Warns of Terrorism Offensive

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

The Taliban announced they are beginning an offensive against what they call “foreign transgressors” and those who are working against them in Afghanistan. The terrorist organization is promising their “spring offensive” will be “monumental.”

“We once again call on all the officials and workers of the stooge Karzai regime to break away from this decaying administration in order to conform to Islamic commands, national interests and protection of yourselves, and to choose a life of prosperity living alongside your own people in an atmosphere of peace and security,” the Taliban said in its statement.

Hours after the announcement, the Taliban claimed responsibility for the killing three police officers during an attack in the eastern part of the state.

The offensive is seen as a major threat to the Afghanistan government as coalition forces prepare to withdraw from the country in 2014. If the Afghani forces cannot control the increased terrorist activity it will weaken confidence in the current government’s ability to maintain control next year.

Civilians are being very critical of the world in their help to the region.

“NATO has done nothing for us,” a local tailor told NBC. “In the past 11 years, what can I say? They have done nothing. They did whatever they did for their own interests and not for us. Our poor nation is in the same condition of poverty and all those problems. I think the future will remain the same in future years: poverty with a lot of problems.”
