KABUL: International peacekeepers vowed yesterday that they would “not step back a single step'' in their mission to provide law and order in the Afghan capital, a day after a suicide bombing killed four German soldiers and wounded 31 in the worst-ever attack on the security force. An Afghan civilian was also killed.
“Let's make it absolutely clear that ISAF is here in Kabul because the situation is not yet stable and not yet 100% safe,'' said German Lt-Col Thomas Lobbering of the International Security Assistance Force, or ISAF.
