CUI BONO?
"At Least 80 Killed in Afghan Suicide Blast"
"A suicide bomber blew himself up in a large crowd gathered at a dogfighting festival just outside this city in southern Afghanistan, killing some 80 people and wounding nearly 100 more in the country’s worst single bombing since 2001.
According to witnesses and officials, the bomber killed a local police chief, Abdul Hakim Jan, a number of his guards and scores of villagers attending the event in the district of Argandab, just north of Kandahar city.
The governor of Kandahar, Asadullah Khaled, said the dead numbered 80 and the wounded over 90. A spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Kabul, Dr. Abdullah Fahim, said the Kandahar hospital had received 67 bodies. But some families had taken bodies straight home for burial from the scene of the blast, he said.
“This is the action of the enemies of our country,” said Mr. Khaled, the governor. “They do not let Afghans enjoy their lives and have a peaceful life.”
A spokesman for the Taliban, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, denied that the Taliban had carried out the attack and suggested it was the result of internal fighting within the Afghan government. “We did not carry out this blast in Kandahar, we strongly reject that,” he said in a telephone call....
Yeah, I get that false-flag smell, too!
Hours after the explosion, pale and shaken survivors were still at the scene. Abandoned shawls, shoes, caps and bits of human flesh were strewn on the bloodied field. Five vehicles, including police cars, had been badly damaged. The body of a man the police said was the bomber lay mangled.
Muhammad Khan, 25, said he had been knocked over by the blast. “I couldn’t hear or speak or walk,” he said. “My whole body was numb, and I thought I was injured, but my heart is working. Luckily my brother rushed and picked me up and poured water over my head. Thank God, I am fine.”
People had traveled miles to watch the dogfights, a pastime that was banned by the Taliban when they were in power because it entails gambling.
Wow!! The Taliban knocked out vices like opium and gambling, etc?
No wonder AmeriKa invaded: Spreading AMERIKAN VALUES!!!
Oh, wait a minute.
We BROUGHT DOG-FIGHTING BACK to Afghanistan but we IMPRISON Mike Vick?
WTF?
But the fights, involving huge Afghan mastiffs, have returned to much of the country, often sponsored by local commanders and landlords. In Argandab, they take place every Sunday during the winter, and huge crowds gather, attracting street vendors who hawker food and drinks.
And WHO LOOKS BAD when a "suicide bomb" goes off?
CUI BONO, readers?
Noor Muhammad, 32, said he survived because he was sitting down and a dog in front of him blocked the force of the explosion. The police chief, who was nearby, was killed along with five of his bodyguards, he said.
He said he believed many more people were killed in the attack.
“I counted 30 vehicles carrying the dead bodies; in each car there were seven to eight dead bodies,” he said. “Thousands of people were watching the dogs fighting, including young children and old people. Some people were selling things like oranges and tea and other food from stalls. People had come from different parts of Kandahar Province.”
I don't believe Taliban are blowing up there own.
After all the Zionist lies about Muslims in the New York Times, I just don't believe it.
Hospital officials in Kandahar said there were children and teenagers among the wounded, and that about 15 patients were critically hurt. Police officials, soldiers and local residents were lining up outside the hospital to donate blood. The Health Ministry put medical units in neighboring provinces on alert in case they were needed in Kandahar, Fahim said....
And right next door, I love how the MSM censores the LYING CONTRADICTIONS of the government of Pakistan:
"A car bomb tore through a crowd gathered for a rally Saturday, the final day of campaigning for Pakistan's parliamentary elections, killing at least 39 people and injuring more than 100, authorities said.
The attack occurred in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt, in the town of Parachinar, a few miles from the border with Afghanistan. It was not immediately clear whether it was a suicide attack or the bomb was planted in a vehicle. Witnesses and authorities gave conflicting accounts of the incident....
I don't like the smell of that.
CUI BONO?
Hospitals in Parachinar, inundated by the wounded, sent the worst cases to the provincial capital, Peshawar, for treatment.
Scores of the injured were reported to be in critical condition, and morgue officials said many of the dead were burned or mutilated beyond recognition....
Pakistan's restive northwest, where many Islamic militant groups operate, has been a magnet for election violence. Dozens of people have died in attacks in the tribal areas and the North-West Frontier Province during the course of the campaign.
In southern Pakistan, police reported the arrests of three would-be suicide bombers in the city of Hyderabad. They said the men had planned to attack polling stations.
How much you wanna bet we see that in the U.S. around November?
Extend King George's rule?
Hey, "Al-CIA-Duh" likes to bomb elections, right?
A day earlier, police in the southern port city of Karachi announced the arrests of 10 suspected militants and the seizure of a large quantity of explosives. Authorities said the suspects were planning attacks on election day."
Pfffffftttt!
Why is this excluded from the linked article, readers?
.... The biggest fear is major violence between political parties if there are widespread allegations of cheating.
Highlighting those tensions, hundreds of police surrounded and then clashed with more than 1,500 supporters of a coalition of anti-Musharraf parties boycotting the vote in the southwestern city of Quetta on Saturday. Seven people were injured.
Those are the "Islamic fundamentalists" getting BEATEN DOWN!!
No wonder they are "fundamentalists!
The demonstrators threw rocks at police, who responded with tear gas before arresting 50 activists for the violence, said police officer Raja Mohammed Ishtiaq. A truck and three motorcycles were burned in the melee, and the street was littered with party flags and shoes."
And that's quite an equal match-up, huh?
Stones against chemical weapons, at its basest description, readers.
Think that election is going to be fair?
No way Mushy's 9%-in-popularity party gets over the unimpeachable 33% barrier without a RIGGED ELECTION.
