Suicide Bomber Kills 8 Afghan Civilians

Another 25 Wounded In Powerful Kandahar Blast Apparently Targeting NATO Convoy

(AP)  A suicide car bomber targeting a U.S.-led coalition convoy in southern Afghanistan Thursday killed eight civilians and wounded 25 other people, including three coalition soldiers, officials said.

The car bomber blew himself up shortly after the convoy passed near him in Kandahar city, said provincial police chief Sayed Agha Saqib. Eight civilians were killed in the powerful explosion, Saqib said.

Three coalition soldiers were slightly wounded in the attack, said Lt. Cmdr. Pierre Babinsky, a spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force in southern Afghanistan. The nationalities of the wounded soldiers were not disclosed.

Also wounded were two policemen and seven people who were in serious condition, Saqib said.

Taliban militants regularly launch suicide bombings against Afghan and foreign troops in the country, but most of the victims in such attacks have been civilians.

Mehmetullah Khan was inside his furniture shop when blast shook the ground. Two of his workers were hurt.

"I do not know what kind of Muslims they are. They are killing Afghans," Khan said of the insurgents. "My two workers were poor and were providing for their families. Who is going to feed them now?"

The number of suicide attacks spiked in 2007, with the Taliban launching more than 140 suicide missions, the highest number since they were ousted from power by a U.S.-led invasion in 2001.

More than 8,000 people were killed in insurgency-related violence in 2007, the U.N. says.

The US population is around 300 million, 7% is eligible to enlist ----- Time for a draft & taxes to pay for it.

Prinzowhales-You must have a pretty decent cave in Afghanistan, complete with your own electrical outlet, laptop, the Al-Jazeera network...you name it.

How much is jihad paying you to spread propaganda? Must be a pretty penny....no?

Whatever...

I see, however, you didn''t address the FBI''s finding that Barbara Olson never spoke to her husband...

I know its a waste of time asking you about anything in the real world...but, I thought I''d give it another crack...

[prinzowhales]

WHY ISN''T SOLICITOR GENERAL THEODORE OLSON NOT UNDER THE JAIL FOR LYING ABOUT THE CALLS HE CLAIMED TO RECEIVE FROM HIS WIFE ON FLIGHT 77?

http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8514

In court, in the case of Zacarias Moussaoui, the FBI maintained that there was only one UNCONNECTED call from Barbara Olson

[prinzowhales]

WHY DOE THE FBI SAY IT HASN''T ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO WANT OSAMA BIN LADEN FOR 9-11?

http://www.voltairenet.org/article155945.html

"Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI responded, %u201CThe reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama bin Laden%u2019s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.%u201D" NO HARD EVIDENCE!!!...we know, the FBI knows, that the videotape of the fat bin Laden ''found'' in Afghanistan admitting to complicity was an outright fabrication!

Obama--like McCain and Clinton--don''t care...dead Americans mean less to them than dirt.

DOWN WITH THE DEMOPUBLICAN REGIME!

[prinzowhales]

Amazing! These are the insidious professionals who drove the Soviets out of Afghanistan...shooting down planes and helicopters...and they can''t hit a convoy with a car load of explosives, but wait for the convoy to pass and kill civilians.

This is an obvious ''dirty war'' attack by civilians to get them to support the Opium Dealer Regime that we are supporting in Kabul...

Basic reporting 101 from the NIGHTSTALKER...Who, What, Where, When, How and Why? What kind of vehicle was he driving, who was he, what kind of explosives, trigger and detonator?

Has anyone taken credit for this ''suicide bombing''?
The credit was assigned rather handily...

Remember! It was US who flew thousands of al Qaeda fighters out of AFghanistan when the Taliban Regime fell. It was under the US occupation that Opium production has skyrocketed....

The first recorded suicide bombing in Afghanistan cleared Ahmad Shah Mas''ud...Clearing the way for a US supported henchman with ties to Big Oil.

Not surprisingly, as we''ve found in Iraq, where the US appears, al Qaeda prospers. In Kosovo, the brother of Ayman al-Zawahiri operates in a KLA terrorist camp under the protection of the Americans while he makes made to order propaganda films to create fear in America.
