A Stop The Presses Alert: the jihadists may try to interfere with Afghan elections! "Terrorists May Have Plot Against Afghan Vote," from AP, :
KABUL, Afghanistan — A deadly homicide bombing at a mosque and an attempt to down a U.S. military aircraft with a shoulder-launched missile may signal the start of a campaign of violence by Al Qaeda and Taliban rebels to destabilize Afghanistan's legislative elections, President Hamid Karzai's spokesman said Tuesday.Twenty people were killed in the June 1 blast in the southern city of Kandahar during the funeral of a moderate Muslim cleric who had spoken out against Taliban-led insurgents. Among the dead was the Kabul police chief and six of his bodyguards.
U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Jerry O'Hara confirmed that a shoulder-launched, surface-to-air missile was fired at U.S. aircraft on June 1. He said such attacks were infrequent and described it as an "isolated incident."
Let's hope so.
Question is where are these jihadis getting arms and money from? Even the worst suicide-crazed,martyr-complexed jihadi scum would have trouble blowing him/her self up w/o explosives. Its these organized enablers of terror that need to be taken down in a hurry.
In this afghan case, I suspect its both Pak and Iran. Iran is already in the gunsights and will probably be taken down within the next 6-8 months (before their nuke theats become real and like NKorea they become immune to pre-emptive attack). Pak is probably on the watchlist anyways.
