| "Al-Qaeda won't stop suicide kabooms despite Afghan anger, if any" Two suicide bombers blew themselves up in a coordinated attack on Afghan security forces patrolling Sunday in the town of Gereshk, in the southern province of Helmand, killing 7 people and wounding 20, the Interior Ministry said. It was the second attack in Gereshk in four days. A similar attack on Thursday killed 21 people. Helmand Province is the largest opium- and heroin-producing region of Afghanistan. Sunday's attack was aimed at Afghan soldiers and police officers who were conducting a joint foot patrol through the central bazaar of the city, said Asadullah Sherzad, the police chief of Helmand. The first suicide bomber was on a motorcycle and blew himself up next to the patrol, and a second bomber detonated his explosives minutes later among the crowd that gathered while the police and soldiers were attending to the casualties.
A spokesman for the Taliban, Qari Yousuf Ahmedzai, claimed responsibility for the attack. He said 30 members of the security forces had been killed. | |

| #1 The only good reason to put on a boom belt is if you're surrounded by cannibals and there's no way out. Any other reason (My god told me to, Etc) is downright stupid. But we all know their Imams work hard at preventing any true education. So when you blow, hold your Imam tightly in a bear hug. It won't hurt them (They say) s you'll both be instantly transported to Paradise. And if true Why would the imam hold back? Hummmm, might he be lying? |
