Kabul: The spiritual leader of Taliban, Mullah Muhammad Omar congratulated Muslims on the festive occasion of Eid-ul-Adha and urged fighters to carry out more insider attacks.
In an emailed statement, Omar said that Taliban insurgents would increase the number of insider attacks against coalition and Afghan forces.
The insider attacks during 2012 have resulted in the deaths of at least 52 foreign troops.
 Omar urged “every brave Afghan in the ranks of the foreign forces and their Afghan hirelings … to strike them.”
“Jihadist activities inside the circle of the state militias are the most effective stratagem. Its dimension will see further expansion, organization and efficiency,” he said. “Increase your efforts to expand the area of infiltration in the ranks of the enemy.”
The Taliban leader also claimed his fighters were winning the war and vowed to continue the struggle “against the invaders who have invaded our country until the occupation ends completely.”
“We told the enemy 11 years ago that their coming (to the country) will be easy but their presence and exit will be full of complications,” he said.
Omar also exhorted his fighters to “pay full attention to the prevention of civilian casualties,” saying the enemy was trying to blame them on the insurgents.
