PESHAWAR, July 8 (IslamOnline) – The inability of the Afghani legislative system to take legal action against U.S. soldiers who committed war crimes against civilians in Afghanistan is a sign of the system’s lack of independence, the head of the Afghani Higher Supreme Court said Sunday, July 7.

Mawlawi Fadl Hadi Shenwary, in an interview with Tehran Radio, called for the independence of the legislative system, adding that its decisions should be enforced by the executive authorities in the country.

“The Afghani judiciary is completely helpless in front of the continuous American bombing of the Afghani civilians, as it has no authority to try those responsible of the death of these people,” he said.

“Killing civilians is a criminal act and those responsible should be punished,” he added.

Shenwary also said that the U.S. existence in Afghanistan has a negative impact, especially what he called “hypocrisy”, an indication that foreigners in the country are not abiding by laws.

“So far, the Afghani people have been patient regarding the behavior of the U.S. soldiers in their country, but if the U.S. attacks continued, it will not be in the best interest of the Americans,” he said.

“Why do the U.S. airplanes bomb people on their way to congratulate the new president, and why do they bomb women and children attending weddings?”

Recently, many incidents of U.S. bombing civilians in Afghanistan during its military attacks against what it claims are Al-Qaeda and Taliban forces have occurred.

The most recent attack took place Sunday, June 30, when American airplanes bombed a wedding in a town north of Kandahar, killing and injuring more than 40 civilians, mostly women and children.

This incident has caused wide popular anger against the U.S. for the continuous random attacks on the towns and villages of Afghanistan.
