Iranian Majlis Condemns U.S. Soldier's Killing of Civilians

Tehran, March 15 (KCNA) -- The National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Majlis in a statement on March 12 strongly condemned the U.S. forces in Afghanistan for killing civilians.

The statement said that a U.S. soldier recently killed 16 innocent Afghans including women and children. This fully shows the vulnerability of the U.S. forces, it added.

Such atrocities will go on as long as there remain U.S. forces in Afghanistan, it said, stressing that the pullout of the U.S. forces from Afghanistan is the only way of preventing the recurrence of such atrocity.
