Afghans avert boom...
Afghanistan authorities have averted an attack against government officials, according to a report on the country's national television. Citing the Afghan intelligence service, the report said that a man identified only as a "foreigner" was arrested after a traffic accident in Kabul. Bet he wasn't a Norwegian or a Mexican... Explosives were reportedly hidden in his car. The intelligence service report said he was planning to drive the car into a vehicle carrying Afghan officials, including top leaders. It is not clear if Afghan President Hamid Karzai was the target. The Bad Guys would love to take out Karzai, and they'll keep trying until they either do, or they're all dead. If they succeed, they'll try and use the awful that follows to throw the country into chaos, so that Hekmatyar and Mullah Omar can fight it out to see who gets to misrule the ruins.
