(Kabul, 10 April 2009) Wednesday night, international military forces killed a family of five in the Afghan province of Khost. One of the victims was a female teacher working in a CARE supported school. According to CARE sources, she was killed together with four other members of her family, amongst them two children one of whom was a student in her class. CAREs thoughts go out to the remaining members of the family, and we stand in solidarity with the community in this difficult time. CARE strongly condemns the action and demands that international military forces operating in Afghanistan are held accountable for their actions and avoid all attacks on innocent civilians in the country. The teacher was working in a CARE supported class, providing secondary education for girls in the community.
