4 Suicide Bombers Killed in Attack on Nato Base in Kabul
2011-04-03
[Tolo News] At least four burka-clad jacket wallahs were killed on Saturday morning while approaching Camp Phoenix, a Nato base in Kabul, officials said.

The incident happened when four suicide kaboomers reached near Camp Phoenix on the Kabul-Jalalabad highway near the city with two blowing themselves up, but foreign forces bumped off the other two, Head of Kabul Criminal Investigation Department, Mohammad Zaher told TOLOnews.

One Afghan civilian was also killed in the attack and there were no reports about anyone being maimed, he added.
Summary: four cross-dressing walking bombs sacrifice themselves to send one fellow-believer to Paradise, while they end up with their intestines roasting over hot coals in Hell. How clever they must feel just now.
One of the suicide bombers attacked with small arms before they were both killed, officials said.
Well done, O Camp Phoenix guards!
The Taliban have grabbed credit for the attack.

"I came here to buy something when I heard a blast and firing in the area" an eyewitness told TOLOnews news hound.

Camp Phoenix is a Nato base in eastern part of the Afghan capital where dozens of US soldiers are stationed.

Insurgents have recently increased their activities in different parts of the country.

Foreign and Afghan forces have launched many military operations in the country to clear volatile areas of cut-thoats.

The first phase of foreign troops' withdrawal process is to begin in July this year, when Afghan forces are expected to take over security responsibilities of 7 areas.
