"Afghan suicide attack kills seven" by Noor Khan/Associated Press November 20, 2007
Ever notice the U.S. military's 75 air raids a day and the five-fold increase in air bombings never gets much print, readers?
Pfffffffttttt!
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - A suicide bomber targeting an Afghan provinicial governor killed seven people yesterday, including the governor's son and six police officers. Fourteen people were wounded.
The bomber detonated explosives strapped to his body outside the governor's house in the town of Zaranj in southwestern Nimroz province, said deputy Governor Maluang Rasooli.
Governor Ghulam Dastagir Azad had entered the house shortly before the blast. He said his son and six policemen were killed.
"I was the target of the suicide attacker," Azad said.
Yesterday, Afghan security forces arrested a potential suicide bomber in Kabul after he tried to board an army bus, Interior Ministry spokesman Zemeri Bashary told reporters.
The attacker was from the Pakistani city of Peshawar, Bashary said. Afghan and Western officials say many suicide bombers are trained in Pakistan and then cross the border into Afghanistan to carry out attacks.
An Afghan soldier kicked the man as he tried to board the bus, and when the attacker fell down, he was unable to detonate his suicide vest, said Kabul police chief Mohammad Salim Hasas.
Officials displayed the defused suicide vest for the media and said the attacker was undergoing blood tests because he appeared to have been drugged. Hasas said the attacker's identity would not be disclosed in hopes he would inform on other attackers."
What garbage!
This big, elaborate production to prove they stopped a guy.
Must have been easy since he was DRUGGED, huh?
And who did that to him, some pious "Al-CIA-Duh?"
"Suicide Attack in Afghanistan Kills 7 but Spares Governor" by ABDUL WAHEED WAFA
Amazing how the Zionist-controlled press can sniff out the suiciders and miss so much else, huh, readers?
KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 19 — A provincial governor in southwestern Afghanistan narrowly escaped a suicide attack on Monday, but his 25-year-old son and five of his bodyguards were killed in the blast. A civilian bystander was also killed, and 14 others were wounded, the police said.
The bomber approached the governor’s compound on foot on Monday morning just 10 minutes after the governor, Ghulam Dastagir Azad, had entered his office in the town of Zaranj, in Nimruz Province. He detonated his charge at the entrance to the compound, where the governor’s son was standing among a group of people, according to the provincial police chief, Muhammad Dawood Askaryar. Chief Askaryar said that of the wounded, six were policemen, three were employees of the governor’s office and three were civilians.
Zaranj lies on the border with Iran and has been relatively free of insurgent attacks and the strong Taliban presence seen in the rest of the south and southeast of the country.
Oooh, man, does this ever STINK!!!!
Near the border of Iran where there is no Taliban, huh?
STINKER BLACK-OP by western intel!
In Kabul, security forces thwarted a suicide attack on a military bus carrying Afghan Army trainers and staff members to work. A man wearing an explosive vest tried to climb into the bus, but a man at the door knew immediately that he was not an officer and grabbed him, said Gen. Zahir Azimi, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense.
Other people on the street also helped subdue the man and somehow prevented him from detonating. They called the police, who defused the explosives. The man later said he was from Pakistan, General Azimi said.
Nothing about the drugging, 'eh, Times?
Gen. Ali Shah Paktiawal, the director of the criminal investigation department of the Kabul Police, confirmed the man’s nationality and said he was 25. He said the man was the second Pakistani to be arrested as a suspected suicide bomber on Monday."
Of course, the "suiciders" was big news in the Zionist-controlled War Dailies.
The far less notable and less reported on story was the World Brief:
"Bodyguards killed children after blast"
KABUL -- Afghan lawmakers' bodyguards fired indiscriminately into a crowd after a suicide bombing, and children bore the brunt of the onslaught, according to an internal UN report obtained yesterday. The report calls the shooting deliberate and criminal. The United Nations mission in Afghanistan said the report is one of several conflicting views inside the world body and has not been officially endorsed. The report by the UN Department of Safety and Security said it was not clear how many people died in the bombing and how many died from gunfire that erupted after the Nov. 6 attack in Baghlan Province. Sixty-one students and six lawmakers were among those killed (AP)."
Want to see the original, fuller report on the Nov. 6 incident?
Afghanistan's Children, Part II
Oh.
My lingering memories are "suicider Muslim killing kids" in that "event."
And the death toll reach 61? Not the impression you were left with.
Once again, the story is different than what the western media let on, and now the question what, if anything, you can believe in their terrible pages.
