| Bomb kills 14 on Afghan minibus: government |
| 2011-08-19 |
| [Dawn] Women and children were among the casualties on Thursday when a roadside kaboom tore through a minibus in western Afghanistan, killing 14 civilians and wounding 11 others, the government said. The bus, packed with passengers, was travelling between the district of Obe in Herat province and the placid provincial capital, local administration front man, Moheyddin Noori, told AFP. "Fourteen people, all civilians, were killed and 11 others are injured. Women and children are among the casualties," he added. The front man blamed the bombing on "the armed opposition groups" -- a reference to Taliban-led beturbanned goons. |

| #1 Now, stop for a minute and ask yourself a few questions. It was a roadside bomb without a cell phone detonated ignition system so you dont blow up a bus loaded with Momma and the kiddies. But the Taliban are about as dumb as jocks and they dont think things through very well. Now also suppose the Moslem jocks Dwayne and Wally ALSO happen to live around there. And all the relatives know who Dwayne and Wally are. Now YOU think that ... all through.... ""Fourteen people, all civilians, were killed and 11 others are injured." ( now...pause...just how many relatives does that all add up to?) And Moslems are a forgiving lot, we all know that. |
