| [Bangla Daily Star] A jacket wallah on a cycle of violence attacked a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... convoy in Afghanistan's southern province of Kandahar yesterday, wounding seven people including four soldiers, an official said. "A suicide kaboomer rammed his explosives-laden cycle of violence into a convoy of NATO troops in Dand district injuring four foreign soldiers, one policeman, one translator and one civilian," provincial governor Toryalai Weesa told AFP. The attack bore the hallmarks of Taliban bully boys, who on Monday targeted NATO troops in a suicide car booming at an airport in eastern Afghanistan, killing nine people but no foreign soldiers. The Taliban said that attack was in Dire Revenge™ for the burning of Korans at a US military base at Bagram north of Kabul, an incident that ignited days of violent anti-US protests and led to an apology by US President Barack Obama I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar, we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick... The only NATO soldiers reported killed in Afghanistan in the 10 days since the demonstrations erupted have died at the hands of Afghan colleagues. Two Americans were killed at a military outpost in Kandahar Thursday, taking the number of Americans killed by Afghan associates to six since outbreak of the protests. NATO withdrew all its advisors from Afghan government ministries after two American officers were shot and killed inside the interior ministry last Saturday, apparently by an Afghan colleague. Two days earlier, two American troops were killed by an Afghan soldier who turned his weapon on them as demonstrators approached their base in the east of the country. |
