21 Field Reports
22 Pawran: The last explosion had a bad effect on people, they all seemed afraid and had concern about security. That explosion was in Charikar and killed seven and more than 10 were injured in the attack. Khost: The way is block(ed) due to heavy snow and people are facing problems when they have illness and other emergency cases. Last week coalition forces searched two houses and they killed the head of the family and injured women and children. These kinds of searches and operations make the people mad and sad. Kandahar: The city remains relatively calm, but in suburban areas there is no control of government according to the feeling of the people.
23 Nimroz: Taliban kidnapped two workers of voter registration program and they are searching cars on the roads, people want to have police stations on the whole way. Herat: There are reconstruction projects in most districts of Herat province and they are discussed by many people. Several members of the police force were arrested for helping Taliban on 30th December about a dozen others defected to the Taliban. Zabul: The people encountered by the field team complained about security and there was a sense of dissatisfaction with foreign forces, ANA (Afghan Army) and ANP (police) because they make problems for the people rather than help them. There were also complaints about the lack of medical facilities.
24 Ghazni: There has been an increase in reconstruction projects but the roads of some districts are blocked due to heavy snow and people are in economic problems. Paktika: People have complaints about high prices of foods and fuels. Takhar: Ahangran district villages received electricity and security has improved. Badghis: Voter registration process has started in the districts. People are starting to register. Farah: There is an impression that many younger people are trying to go to Iran to look for work and better security.
25 Just Today 2/11/09 19 killed, 54 injured in attacks on the Ministry of Justice and Prisons Department buildings in Kabul. About three hours after the first attacks in Kabul, ABC News received a call from the Taliban. The caller claimed there were more than 20 suicide attackers in the city. Of course totally unverifiable, but clearly an attempt to paralyze the city with fear.
