Mass murder in Kabul
Posted by MK on September 29, 2007
A suicide bomber wearing an army uniform blew up a bus carrying Afghan soldiers in Kabul today, killing at least 27 military personnel and wounding many others, the defence ministry said. Witnesses said several passers-by were also believed to have been killed in the blast near the city centre but authorities could not immediately provide a figure. The insurgent Taliban movement claimed responsibility for the attack, the deadliest in the city since a similar explosion on a police bus in June killed about 35 people.
The insurgent Taliban movement, which has been behind a wave of suicide attacks in Afghanistan this year, claimed responsibility. Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed said the attack was part of a Taliban “operation” of attacks over the holy month of Ramadan. There have been more than 100 suicide attacks in Afghanistan this year, most blamed on the Taliban. LiveNews.
We should be prepared for the situation to go bad in Afghanistan as well, perhaps we might need a surge there as well. I wonder, since Afghanistan is supposed to be the ‘Just War’, if the leftists will support this one, the smart money ain’t on it though.

MK, sorry to hear that what must be the hope of Afghanistan, a decent military team, were hit so badly. Another lunatic creates chaos in his wake and leaves a trail of destruction.
