KABUL - More than 1,280 Afghan civilians have been killed in the first six months of the year as fighting rages in Afghanistan, despite a pact between the United States and Taleban militants, the United Nations said on Monday .
"The reality remains that Afghanistan continues to be one of the deadliest conflicts in the world for civilians," it said in the mid-year report. The Taleban were responsible for 43 per cent of all civilian casualties and government forces caused 23 per cent, chiefly from air strikes and indirect fire during operations, it added.
In February, the US and the Taleban signed an agreement in Doha, laying out plans for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan in exchange for security guarantees from the militants.
