Clinton: Muslims Reject Taliban Aid Worker Killings (Voice of America 8/09/10)	Permalink

http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/asia/Clinton--Muslims-Reject-Taliban-Aid-Worker-Killings-100298809.html U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday that Muslims around the world join people of other faiths in rejecting last week's murder of humanitarian aid workers in Afghanistan. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation will join Afghan authorities in probing the attack, for which the Taliban has claimed responsibility. Officials here say the killing of the 10-member medical team, which included six Americans, is such an unpopular act in Afghanistan that they are puzzled why the Taliban would boast its responsibility. Clinton called the slaying of the aid workers, who had spent several days conducting a free eye clinic in the region, heartbreaking and vicious murder. But she said it will not deter other volunteers and the international coalition in Afghanistan from seeking to establish what the Taliban is fighting against - a future of peace, freedom and stability for all Afghans. "As determined as the extremists are to spread their destructive view of the world, the Afghan people along with their partners, including the United States, are determined to stop them," said Hillary Clinton. "So as we mourn the loss of these brave aid workers, we will continue with our own efforts, and we will be inspired by their heroism, their compassion and their love for the Afghan people." __________________ Nobody puts THIS baby in the corner!
