Taliban Splodey Kills A'stan Spy Boss
 A Taliban suicide bomber killed Afghanistan's deputy chief of intelligence during a visit to a mosque east of Kabul on Wednesday in an attack that left 23 others dead.
Going to a mosque can kill you. Best to avoid such places.
| Interesting that the assassination method of choice was the jacket wallah instead of a sniper. Is it harder to place a sniper these days, or is that just something the ISI and Al Qaeda between them can't produce such highly trained people anymore? |
The explosion ripped through a crowd in Laghman province just as officials were leaving the main mosque in Mehterlam, 60 miles (100 kilometers) east of Kabul. Several top provincial officials from Laghman were among the dead, and President Hamid Karzai and the U.N. condemned the attack.
As opposed to applauding it?
| Posturing must be done. At least the UN is on the right side of this issue this time, as compared to the textbooks they produce for the Palestinian territories. |
A Taliban spokesman said a suicide bomber on foot targeted Abdullah Laghmani, the deputy chief of Afghanistan's National Directorate for Security. The spokesman for Laghman's governor, Sayed Ahmad Safi, confirmed Laghmani was killed.
