S. Says its not involved hobby while back as a political analyst he is joining us live from kabul good to have you on the program any idea of why this attack took place here. So we have conflicting information coming in and the taliban are saying that you had people who had gathered around to welcome the prisoners sure that least by the african government these kidman that has come from the african government is contrary to this statement of the taliban and they have said it was a gathering of taliban commandos who wanted to basically plan for often several petitions to collapse 3 districts of province so you have conflict information out of what was the primary motive behind this. Strike this notwithstanding there is no denial about the civilian casualties in Collateral Damage lets talk about the civilian casualties because what does damage if any does this do to the credibility of the Afghan Military forces. So you know every now and then when you have hired at a strike it had Collateral Damage so this is not the 1st instance and perhaps this will not be the last instance when we talk about the african war but the number of civilian casualties is also contested by various sides you have the Afghan Government saying it did not have Collateral Damage to taliban claiming that it had Collateral Damage and you had testament you have testimonies coming in from the civilians talking about the damages.

Military support it would have repercussions on 2 things one is the doha agreement signed between the taliban in the United States of america and the other important claim to taliban that the taliban are making is that you have had these prisoners who would it is and you had people coming in to welcome them because theyre spending a lot of time and the african government in u. S. Prisons in kabul and other parts of the country now if you have as strikes coming in this might affect the u. S. Taliban bill in a way where you might have prisoners who are at least might go and take up arms again which the door agreement. Where you are prisoners are not allowed to take up arms again after a deal released so dot dot clause of the. Of the agreement might be affected at least the taliban are claiming god may be rightly so always good to get your thoughts on this hobby of broadway appreciate your time thank you very much indeed.
