| 2 US troops, 11 civilians killed in fresh Afghan violence |
| 2010-06-12 |
| Two US troops and at least 11 civilians died in violence across southern Afghanistan on Friday, including one attack in which a suicide bomber wearing a burqa blew himself up in a bazaar. Violence has spiked recently in Afghanistan's volatile south as Taliban insurgents step up attacks ahead of a planned major operation by NATO forces to secure the main city of Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban. General Stanley McChrystal, the US and NATO commander in Afghanistan, said in Brussels on Friday that insurgents have killed 59 Afghans during the past seven days, 54 of them in Kandahar. He told NATO ministers that insurgents also injured 116 people, including 94 in Kandahar. In Kandahar province, nine civilians, including four women and three children, were killed and eight other people were injured when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Maiwand district, said Zalmai Ayoubi, a spokesman for the provincial governor. |

| #7 Poor wazdan is occasionally inspired after coming out of the mosque in Islamabad, and posts something that reveals his ignorance and inability to think clearly... not to mention his poor command of English. |

| #4 Poor wazdan. Did you not notice that only 20pc of the dead were Americans? The remaining 80pc were Pakhton Muslims, killed by other Muslim men who got pleasure from hiding in women's clothing. This attack followed ignoble Talib tradition; most of the dead and injured were Muslim women and children, which is why it doesn't matter that you outbreed the West. You kill off your own children almost as fast as you give birth to them, and six million of the remainder leave Islam every year...that you know of. This is what your vaunted Taliban do, wazdan: they hide among the Muslim women in order to murder Muslim women because they are not men enough to fight NATO soldiers. They will lose this war as Pakistan has lost every war it has ever fought... or do you now rule over Bangladesh and Kashmir? |

| #3 I think wazdan is saying the taliban even kill their own and supporters (some of whom were at the jirga) and that NATO is Afghanistan's protector. |
