#2 Isn't the army working on a device that prematurely sets off explosives? I thought I read something about it a month or two ago, it would be like a metal detector you walk through, and BLAMO!

#4 At this point, any attack by the Taliban is, by definition, a suicide attack.

#5 One thing that stands out from what I've read on Rantburg over the last couple of months is that most of the suicide bombers are young - 14, 15, 16. I believe a lot of them may be paleostains brought to Afghanistan for the sole purpose of blowing themselves up. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a lot of them were doped to the gills before making their attempt (common practice, I believe, in Iraq). A-Q has no conscience and no soul, and will do anything to inflict casualties and gain power. They have obviously taken control of the Taliban and use it any way they please. They can't be killed off fast enough.

#7 As cold as this will sound, this development is actually in our favor. The boomers in Iraq pushed several of the major Sunni tribes over to the "Kill the Terrorists" position in the past year; splattering crowds in markets will eventually do the same to the Pushtans. And besides which, using foreigners to do this makes all foreigners working for the Taliban the enemy. Lots of intel will be coming our way in a couple of months.
