    KABUL, Afghanistan - An insurgent improvised explosive device attack on Afghan and coalition forces killed two civilians and wounded five more near Heyderabad in Helmand province Aug. 7.

    The forces were returning to a forward operating base in the area after conducting operations in the area.

    "Mullah Omar has given strict guidance to his fighters to avoid killing and wounding innocent civilians, yet the casualties continue," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "It is clear that either Omar no longer has communication with his fighters or his fighters are no longer listening to him."
