At a press conference the spokesman for Isaf forces told reporters on Monday that night
raids are beneficial to Afghanistan and underlined civilian deaths will be avoided in the
raids
Insurgents will have a tough winter ahead, said the spokesman for Isaf, Josef Blotz.
"The government of Afghanistan has offered insurgents an opportunity to come in from
the cold and enjoy their villages and families and live peaceful lives," said Blotz. "All they
have to do is renounce violence, stop support to international terrorist organisations and
accept the Afghan constitution.
He said Isaf forces have recently gained significant achievements and vice versa
insurgents have lost momentum in most parts of the country.
A number of low-level Taliban had joined peace process and now they are living a
peaceful life, he said.
"A group of around 150 insurgents in Baghlan Jadeed district renounced violence and
accepted President Karzai's offer from November 24th," he said.
"As peace efforts continue, developments will progress with increasing momentum," he
added. (Tolo News)
