Afghans more angry about foreign troops
Friday, 8 October 2010
KABUL, Oct 7 (AP): In a report released Thursday said Afghans are increasingly angry and resentful about the international presence in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, an air strike and a raid by ground troops killed eight insurgents.
NATO reported the death of one of trier soldier s in a roadside bombing in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday.
The report - by Open Society Foundations, a think tank backed by liberal billionaire George Soros - was based on interviews in late 2009 and 2010 of more than 250 Afghans in seven provinces, along with discussions with community leaders in other parts of the country.
It suggests that NATO's message either is not getting out or is disregarded by Afghans, despite stepped-up press releases about their successes in protecting civilians.
