Taliban urge fighters to avoid killing civilians in new code of conduct to win hearts, minds

Has the Taliban changed their ways ?

Or are they just implementing some sensitivity training ?

What a crock !

SPIN BOLDAK, Afghanistan (AP) — An updated Taliban code of conduct urges fighters to avoid killing civilians and forbids them from seizing weapons and money, a directive aimed at winning hearts and minds of Afghans also being courted by international forces.

But the document declares that people working for international forces or the Afghan government are "supporters of the infidels" and can be killed. Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar took a similar hard line in orders to insurgents that NATO forces said they intercepted in early June.

Mullah Omar urged fighters to kill anyone working with international forces or the Afghan government, including women, according to NATO.
