First, this was in the paper (of course):
"Car Bomb Attack Kills 2 in Afghan Capital" by ABDUL WAHEED WAFA
KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 27 — A huge car bomb exploded in a residential district of Kabul that is used by foreign diplomats and international organizations, killing two civilians and wounding four others, the police said. Two vehicles in a United States military convoy were damaged, but no servicemen were killed or wounded, said a military spokesman, Col. David Johnson.
It was the second bomb attack in the capital in two days. A spokesman for the Taliban claimed responsibility for the blast, as did someone who said he was speaking for the renegade mujahedeen commander Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, news agencies reported.
Ha-ha-ha! That's funny! Two claimed responsibility!
Ooooops, U.S. propaganda outfit!
The explosion occurred at 7:30 a.m. and destroyed the bomber’s car, demolished the wall of a Defense Ministry building and damaged a residence used by the World Bank. The Canadian and Pakistani Embassies, the World Bank and other international organizations have offices in the area. Windows were shattered along several nearby streets.
I oppose all violence, but they sure picked a good spot!
“It was a suicide attacker in the car,” said Ali Shah Paktiawal, the director of the criminal investigation department for the Kabul police. The bomber was driving a black sport utility vehicle, he said. He confirmed that two Afghans were killed and four other civilians were wounded.
“It was a very massive explosion which knocked me over,” said Ahmed Jawad, 24, a construction worker. “Then I did not see anything because of the dust and smoke.” Debris was strewn over a wide area; a human leg was lying some 200 yards away from the site of the explosion."
Gross!
Now I wonder if I will see this report tomorrow:
"NATO Airstrike Kills 14 Afghans" by ABDUL WAHEED WAFA
KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 28 — A NATO airstrike killed 14 laborers working for an Afghan road construction company that had been contracted by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to build a road in the mountainous province of Nuristan in eastern Afghanistan, officials said.
Killing our own contractors? Oh, that's richly ironic, isn't it?!
The strike occurred late Monday night in the Norgram district of Nuristan when the Afghan workers of Amerifa Road Construction Company were sleeping in tents after a day’s work.
“Fourteen of our mechanics and laborers were killed as they were asleep in their tents,” said Nurullah Jalali, the executive director of the construction company. “We just collected pieces of flesh from our tired workers and put them in 14 coffins.”
Good Lord! Killed while they SLEPT!!!!
The governor of Nuristan, Tamim Nuristani, said he could confirm that 13 workers had been “mistakenly” killed when NATO forces bombed the area based on what he said was an intelligence report that insurgents were infiltrating the area.
Blaming it on bad intel, huh? All those billions, and our intel still sucks?
“All these victims are civilians, and they were from nearby provinces,” Mr. Nuristani said.
A NATO spokesman said its forces had struck the area in an attack on what it believed were Taliban insurgents but could not confirm that the road workers had been killed.
Yeah, NATO doesn't want to admit it.
They will, quietly, after a couple of days when the furor has passed!
Mr. Jalali said that in the year his company had worked in the region, his workers had not come across any militants. “We have not seen any evidence of insurgency in that specific area, and we don’t know why and who attacked our laborers,” he said.
The 37-mile road project is the first time in the history of Nuristan that roads are being built connecting its mountainous districts.
The project is financed by the United States military and the road has been under construction for a year through areas that the Afghan government barely controls.
Does the U.S. ever finish any reconstruction project?
A NATO spokesman confirmed that the aerial bombardment of the location was a mission by NATO’s International Security Assistance Force and said that Taliban insurgents were supposed to be the target.
“I can confirm that at this time, we, I.S.A.F., believe that we were able to successfully target a Taliban leader in that area and at that time,” the spokesman, Maj. Charles Anthony, said. “As far as the allegation of civilian casualties goes, that is under investigation.”
Civilian deaths have touched a nerve with Afghans after six years of American and NATO- led operations in Afghanistan and have become a major issue for the government of President Hamid Karzai, who has repeatedly pleaded with international forces to use extreme care while conducting operations.
Yeah, but the deaths have mostly been hidden from shit-chewing Amurkns by the Zionist-controlled War Dailies!
The victims of the episode on Monday night were all Afghans who were working for $5 a day to build the road, Mr. Jalali said. His company has been contracted to build 273 miles of road in 10 provinces of Afghanistan, and the major contracts are with the American military.
They were only making $5 a DAY?! So who stole the funds?
Which American corporation is bilking that contract?
Mr. Jalali said he thought the accident happened because the foreign military either lacked information or had incorrect information while conducting their operations.
“Our advice is for those who have air forces in Afghanistan to confirm their information first and then act, otherwise Afghanistan will go back to atrocities,” he said."
My advice is for the U.S and NATO to get the hell out of there and quit killing people who NEVER DID ANYTHING TO US!!!!!
And APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY on your way out, too!
Then give those people whatever they need to rebuild their lives!
And if they want us to just leave them alone, that's fine, too!!!!
Just STOP KILLING THEM!!!!!
