From AP:
KABUL, Afghanistan -- Suicide bombers rammed explosive-laden cars into NATO forces in two attacks yesterday.A German soldier and an Afghan child were among eight people killed, and at least a dozen other people were wounded. A spokesman for NATO's peacekeeping force, Major Andrew Elmes, said the other six bodies were believed to be those of Afghans.
It was the first major assault on foreign troops in Kabul in more than a year.
Today, police blamed Al Qaeda for the bombings. Police commander General Mohammed Akbar said only Al Qaeda has the capability to pull off such a coordinated attack. ''Al Qaeda is definitely behind this attack," he said.
Troops appeared to have thwarted a third bombing by shooting to death three people in a car who reportedly had been racing toward the scene of the blasts.
The bombs went off within 90 minutes of each other on a 500-yard stretch of road, near the headquarters of Afghan-UN election organizers. In each case, the attackers rammed cars into NATO vehicles...
Well known convert Yvonne Ridley who now contributes to 'Muslim News 'in America warmly 'remembers how she was respectfully treated by the Taleban and the person she would most like to meet is still her No 1 Mullah Omar'. Am surprised it isn' Bin Laden as she declaims his poetry on one website. This is a crazy lady and poster gal for Islam. Am very dubious as by strange co-incidence she arrived in New Zealand just as bombings started in London.

Peanut Carter is the slime.
This is the most despicable idiot that ever held office in the US.
He should have been tarred and feathered way back when, when he allowed the Shah to be deposed by the Ayatollahs and the hostages held for 2 years, which made the US the laughing stock of the world.
He should have died in shame but he hangs around and stinks, shameless, clueless, hopeless.
He was an accident in history, (hopefully)
Go away, Carter, just go!
