| 18 in wedding party killed by IED |
| 2012-10-19 |
| A massive roadside kaboom has killed at least 18 people, mostly women and kiddies, on their way to a wedding in northern Afghanistan. At least 15 others were maimed in what a BBC correspondent called one of the worst such attacks for some time. The victims were on a minibus, heading to the wedding in the Dawlatabad district of Balkh province, when it was struck at about 06:00 local time. Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... strongly condemned the attack. "Planting a mine on a road used by civilians and the killing of innocent people represents hostility toward humanity," he said in a statement. No-one has admitted carrying out the attack, and it is not clear if the minibus was the intended target. |

| #1 "Planting a mine on a road used by civilians and the killing of innocent people represents hostility toward humanity," ...but stopping the hunters from going out in the night to remove such threats to humanity is exactly what Mr. Karzi [who has a bodyguard establishment to shield him from such sport] has been doing for the past year. |
