ASADABAD (Pajhwok): Families of the 1,260 civilians killed in the Kerala village of Asadabad, the capital eastern Kunar province in 1979, have once again demanded the government punish the perpetrators of the mass killing.
The inhabitants of the area say the Kerala massacre took place on April 20, 1979, when 1260 people were killed by the Soviets-backed communist regime of the Khalqi branch of the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA).
