“Alternative narratives”:

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has spoken out against the use of suicide bombings and other terrorist activities, which it says kills more civilians than any other military action.

The reaction came after last Thursday’s bomb blast in Logar province which killed more than 20 people, including children on their way to school. UNAMA condemned the “barbaric” attack, the latest in a string of violence targeted at aid organizations.

Perhaps supporting this sort of violence makes supporters of the Taliban on the streets of London, Birmingham, (or Lyon, or Brussels, or somewhere on the Gulf coast), feel a bit more manly?
