Update

Regarding the post below and one previous, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer pointed out at a press conference in Brussels today that no ISAF forces intentionally kill civilians, underlining that Taliban and other insurgents do intentionally kills civilians. He also noted the example of girls being attacked with acid by the Taliban when they try to attend school.

The statement was given in response to a question concerning security for the upcoming elections and civlian causualties. The Secretary General also said he will continue to apologize for any civilian casualties.

Of course, he's soon to be replaced.
