Red Cross gave teaching of basic first aid to Taliban: UK newspaper

The Red Cross in Afghanistan has been teaching the Taliban basic first aid and giving insurgents medical equipment so that fighters wounded during battles with NATO and Afghan government forces can be treated in the field, a British newspaper claimed.
According to British newspaper, Guardian, more than 70 members of the armed opposition received training in April, the Red Cross said, a move likely to anger the government of Hamid Karzai, which is losing large numbers of police and soldiers in insurgent attacks. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it had introduced the classes because pitched battles, landmines and roadblocks stopped people in the most volatile areas from getting to hospital. The Red Cross, which aims to remain neutral in the conflict, has trained more than 100 Afghan soldiers and policemen, as well as a network of taxi drivers who operate an unofficial ambulance service in Helmand and Kandahar provinces.
