Another spontaneous combustion due to an overheated inner spiritual struggle (it's almost summer, you know).
By Rahim Faiez for the Associated Press:
KABUL, Afghanistan - The deadliest insurgent attack since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 destroyed a bus full of police instructors at Kabul's busiest transportation hub on Sunday, killing 35 people and wounding 52, officials said.
The enormous suicide blast, which raised the specter of an increase in Iraq-style bombings with heavy casualties, was at least the fourth attack against a bus carrying Afghan police or army soldiers in Kabul in the last year. The blast sheared off the bus' metal sidings and roof, leaving a charred frame.
"Never in my life have I heard such a sound," said Ali Jawad, a 48-year-old who was selling phone cards nearby. "A big fireball followed. I saw blood and a decapitated man thrown out of the bus."
The explosion was the fifth suicide attack in Afghanistan in three days, part of a sharp spike in violence around the country. In the south, in Kandahar province, a roadside bomb killed three members of the U.S.-led coalition and an Afghan interpreter. The soldiers' nationalities were not released, but most in the coalition are American.
Condemning the Kabul attack, President Hamid Karzai said the "enemies of Afghanistan" were trying to stop the development of Afghan security forces, a key component in the U.S.- NATO strategy of handing over security responsibilities to the Afghan government one day, allowing Western forces to leave.
A self-described Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said a Taliban suicide bomber named Mullah Asim Abdul Rahman caused the blast. Ahmadi called an Associated Press reporter from an undisclosed location. His claim could not be verified.
Zemeri Bashary, the spokesman for the Interior Ministry, said late Sunday that 35 were killed and 52 wounded in the blast. Karzai's office said 22 police instructors died, indicating that 13 of the dead were civilians.
The various human rights groups will condemn that, if and when they feel like it.
Islam: generating death daily.
The 'Religion' of Blow-Them-To-Pieces.
Makes me want to do a Muslim artistic answer to "Piss Christ".
"The Bleeding Koran".
(In the same gallery as "Piss", add a hollowed-out copy of the al-Qur'an, with a zip-lock bag full of real blood packed inside...having a tiny puncture hole in the bag's bottom, and then place the objet d'art in a clean white marble basin... to ooze red-ly throughout the day. [Refill as needed.])
How soon would that art gallery be bombed?
This further shows the folly of Iraqm - it is clearly being used as a training ground. The methods perfected in Iraq will continue to proliferate. Wait until al-Qaeda is successful in car bombing Times Square on NY Eve or some shopping mall after Thanksgiving. Coming soon to a theatre near you. It's low-tech and requires only a suicide mentality - not lacking among these animals.
Assalamau Laikum all,
Boy I am really pissed off that the Taliban spokesman is named Ahmadi....I mean how BAD is that?
But what are you going to do about it, Naseem? Are you angry and/or humiliated enough to "go Moslem"? Do you have what it takes?
Or you could look at things anew, cast off your oppressive violence-based religion, and join us in Civilization.
The West awaits.
The Afghans can now empathize with what the Israelis went through 5 years ago
Infidel Pride-
Nah. They're probably blaming the Israelis.
Vultures of a feather... al-Qaeda, Hamas, Fatah, Taliban, Jamaal Islamiyah, Islamic Jihad, Hezballah, ad nauseam.
The only thing they have in common is their anti-semitism.

Killem all and let God sort em out ala Iwo Jima It is us or them , don’t you understand that? They are Nazis there is no negotiation. Everyone throughtout history who has seeked to destroy the Jews have ended in oblivion! Im not part of that!
Recipe for suicide bombings:
1) In a large mixing bowl, add 100 billion of Western cash.
2) Locate an Islamic, pro-Western politician, dip him in cooking oil until thoroughly obsequious, add him to bowl.
3) Say spell over mix: Abracadabra, democracy, freedom, religion of peace etc...
4) Station Western troops in the kitchen, train Islamic troops to help in cooking.
5) Bake at 400 degrees and stand around...kiss your butt goodbye...
What do you expect from these monsters?
Jewdog
You deserve a Gold Star today.
Well, looks like the Coalition of the Willing led
by Idiot In Chief & Cronies are doing as well in
Afghanistan as in Iraq...
Thx, Morgane. Yes, they're certainly following the recipe as prescribed.
Don't people realize that Islam is just a power-grabbing scheme masquerading as a religion? That's why democracy, which is based on tolerance of the other faction's power, is so difficult (impossible?) to establish in Islamic countries. Even if we backed Osama bin Laden, the anti-Osama faction would rise up in revolt.
The genius of a Hitler, Stalin or Muhammed is that they, unlike your run-of-the-mill megalomaniac, had enough savvy to frame their selfish ambitions in terms of higher principles.
Yea "the groups" will say something but the good guys will have to mess up first and take the brunt of the condemnation whilst the bad guys get a mere wagging finger.Not the bad finger either.In fact the finger that gets wagged at them they probably think means they are number one in the "groups eyes",they could be right.
It is after all an upside down world and to live in such a world is to live such a groundhogs day life.
OH MY GOD NASSEEM HOW CRUEL!!
OH THE HUMANITY!
WILL THE ATROCITIES NEVER END?
HOW MUCH TERROR SHOULD ONE SECT OF ISLAM TAKE FROM ANOTHER SECT?
(Shakes fist at the infedel ahmadi and his infedel false allah that isn't the same as the ahmadi and thier allah)
It's no wonder muslims hate to be made fun of the material never ends.
It's better to peed off than peed on.
You had better hide that computer when sharia comes to town or you will be peaced out!
Don't worry nasseem we know the difference between the man ahmadi and the herectics the ahmadi.They are still the one and the same to me.
Unless of course the ahmadi are the "normal' muslims in which case please forgive my ignorance.
ISLAM: "the religion of realy brave men." Maybe they to out a kid or two.
Sorry. "took out a kid or two." I need some sleep. My point being... you know.

I'm surprised that they haven't done it already. They're so hung up on making a huge splash with monuments like the Capitol or the Sears Tower. For a lot less money they could instill a lot more fear by blowing up a shopping mall anywhere in America. They don't realize that cable news will be all over it, the way it covers a missing child. The entire country will be awash in the events of smalltown,USA whenever it happens.
Not all muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists are muslim. Naseem, I guess it was just fine with you when an assyrian christian baby was kidnapped in Bagdad, held for ransom and then beheaded, roasted, and served back to his mother on a bed of rice when she couldn't pay the ransom. They must have thought it was humorous to do this. Do you?
