Das zum Thema „SMALLTALK“
gestern Abend bei BECKMANN
und des Bundesverteidigungsministers STATEMENT:
„Wir werden uns an Tote zu gewöhnen haben!“
W I R ** N I C H T !!
Und für die Afghanen selbst
ist die Anwesenheit der NATO-Truppen
tödlicher als ohne…oder??
Apparently!
Also, ganz offensichtlich!
A suicide car bomb
that targeted a Nato convoy
in the Afghan capital, Kabul,
has killed at least 19 people,
including six foreign soldiers.
The US military said that five of those were American.
More than 50 people –
(WAS FÜR EIN BLUTBAD!!!)
und die meisten sind Zivilisten!
mostly Afghan civilians – were hurt.
The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the rush-hour attack in the west of the city, close to the parliament.
It is the deadliest attack on foreign forces
in the heavily guarded capital
since a Taliban assault last September.
Despite tight security, the suicide bomber managed to drive into the city in a car
laden with explosives.
Among the dead there were lots of women and girls
– I heard later (so sagte ein Augenzeuge)
that they were students going to university
The Isaf (Nato-led) convoy was attacked
on the Darulaman road.
An Isaf spokesman confirmed
that six of its soldiers were killed.
Five were from the US,
and unconfirmed reports say the sixth soldier
was Canadian.
Nato chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen „strongly“
condemned the attack,
but said the alliance remained
„committed to its mission
to protect the Afghan people (????? Diese Fragezeichen sind von FEMINISSIMA..)
and to strengthen Afghanistan’s ability
to resist terrorism“.
Five military vehicles were damaged
and more than a dozen civilian vehicles,
including a bus,
were also caught in the blast.
The BBC’s Mark Dummett in Kabul says that,
as is often the case in such attacks,
Afghan civilians seem to have borne the brunt of the explosion.

Eyewitness Obiadullah Saddiqyar was on his way into work when the bomb detonated. He described the scene as „totally chaotic“.
He told the BBC: „I witnessed the bomb this morning at around 0815. I saw many people dead and many injured who were taken to hospital.
„Among the dead there
were lots of women and girls –
I heard later that
they were students going to university.
I also saw one of my colleagues full of blood
in the back of a police car,
also being taken to hospital,“ he said.
„This situation really made me cry for the bloodshed and the innocent people who were killed and injured.“
Isaf said it was assisting the Afghan security force with its investigation.
The Afghan police have set up extra checkpoints throughout the city this year, following a series of attacks by gunmen and bombers on government offices and hotels, our correspondent says.
They say they have arrested several men planning suicide attacks but it is impossible to stop and search every car, so these attacks seem certain to continue, he says.
Major offensive
Afghan President Hamid Karzai described the
attack as „heartbreaking“.
