October 7. Washington Post. describing the attacks on Pakistani villages by the Sovietbacked Afghan Government. These are raids on refugee settlements where perhaps as many as 3 million Afghan men. women. and children have fled following the destruction of their farms and villages during more than 4 years of Soviet occupation and barbarism. These refugee camps are also home to some of the thousands of courageous freedom fighters who battle that Soviet aggression. In a vain effort to destroy the Afghans compelling drive for freedom and selfdetermination. the Soviets and their puppets in Kabul have begun these ruthless attacks on refugee settlements. Since they were unable to kill or maim these people in Afghanistan. they are willing to cross into another country to try and finish the deed. Make no mistake. the Soviets are not only after the Afghan resistance fighters.
