The United States military in Afghanistan has apologized for the anti-Taliban leaflets distributed via air among the people which contain offensive material desecrating the Islam religion. These leaflets sparked furor among the people as the leaflets contained image of a dog along with the Taliban flag which contain holy Islamic verses. In the meantime, a US military official Gen. James Linder in a statement said “The design of the leaflets mistakenly contained an image highly offensive to both Muslims and the religion of Islam”. Gen. James further added that an investigation would be held “to determine the cause of this incident and to hold the responsible party accountable”. The leaflets were apparently distributed to attract the local support in the drive against the Taliban insurgents amid deteriorating security across the country mainly led by the Taliban insurgency.
