In an interview posted on the Taliban’s website, spokesman Muhammad Yusuf said there is a direct link between an increase in civilian casualties in Afghanistan and the Taliban’s ability to recruit new members.
“Civilian losses and casualties increased significantly due the indiscriminate bombing, artillery shelling and brutal night raids of the savage foreign invaders as well as their internal mercenaries," Yusuf said, according to a translation by the SITE Intelligence group.
