Happy holidays, Taliban-style.

From [1] AFP:

A suicide bomber killed seven people and wounded 29 in Afghanistan Saturday in an attack during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr that was similar to scores of others by Taliban extremists.

The attack in the town of Spin Boldak in the southern province of Kandahar came as President Hamid Karzai made a short visit the provincial capital, less than 100 kilometres (60 miles) away.

The bomber was on a motorbike and blew himself up in a crowded part of the town as people were shopping, Kandahar province police chief Sayed Aqa Safed told AFP.

His target appeared to have been two pick-ups filled with policemen parked in the busy street.
