KABUL - At least four people were killed and six wounded when a suicide attacker targeted a US-led convoy in western Kabul on Saturday. The attack took place early Saturday morning, in the Company area, in Kabul’s 5th District, when a suicide attacker driving a taxi rammed the explosive-filled vehicle into a NATO convoy, killing himself and four civilians, Alishah Paktiawal, Chief of the Criminal Branch of Kabul Police, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. Paktiawal said that five civilians and a US soldier were wounded in the blast. Following the attack a US soldier riding in a Humvee vehicle opened ‘indiscriminate fire’ on the crowd, killing one civilian and wounding three, Paktiawal said. Dozens of local people then gathered and wanted to carry out a demonstration but the police intervened and dispersed them, he added.

#1 US soldier riding in a Humvee vehicle opened ‘indiscriminate fire’ on the crowd, killing one civilian and wounding three, Bullshit, I bet every round was aimed, most hit who he was aiming at, and then the guns they were holding and firing just magically disappeared into thin air (Yeah sure) Don't they have even rudimentary forensics, check those "Innocent Victims" for powder residue. |
