PESHAWAR, January 2 (IslamOnline & news Agencies) - American forces stormed a mosque in the Khost province in southeast Afghanistan, beat the worshippers and abducted two of them, said the Pakistani NNT news network Thursday, January 2.

The American soldiers desecrate the mosque with their shoes, smashed the doors and windows infuriating the residents, said the agency.

Meanwhile, the Iranian news agency, IRNA, and the Voice of America correspondent that anti-American leaflets were circulated on Tuesday and Thursday, December 30-31, in the nearby Paktia province.

The leaflets lashed out at the American military presence in Afghanistan and threatened new attacks on the American troops.

The leaflets, which carried no signature and was claimed by no group, pressed the American and foreign forces to leave the country and warned any soldiers who stay in Afghanistan of being killed in the country’s valleys and mountains.

The publications also exhorted the Afghan people not to cooperate with the foreign troops and the government of President Hamid Karzai.

In the meantime, the Afghani “Sohar” newspaper quoted on Thursday security sources in the capital Kabul as saying that Afghan forces seized nine surface-to-surface missiles that were directed at posts of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).

General Abd el-Harman, a senior security official in Kabul, told the paper that the seizure and dismantling of the rockets were carried out on Tuesday, December 31.

In another development, an American radio station, broadcasting in Pashtun language, said Thursday that seven people were killed and twenty others wounded when a hand grenade exploded during a marriage ceremony in Pakita on Wednesday, January 1.

The bomb exploded when an Afghan young man mistakenly dropped the bomb, said the broadcast.
