| [AlAhram] A Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... jacket wallah who struck a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and structure.... patrol in Afghanistan, killing a service member and two civilians, had concealed his explosives beneath the all-enveloping women's garment known as a burqa, a district governor said Friday. The attack the previous evening hit the patrol near Qarabagh, barely 30 kilometers (18 miles) north of Kabul. It was the second suicide kaboom in as many days that targeted NATO. On Wednesday, a suicide kaboomer hit a convoy on the edge of the southern city of Kandahar, killing two U.S. soldiers and wounding another four. Both attacks were claimed by the Taliban. Abdul Sami Sharifi, the district governor in Qarabagh, said the attacker in Thursday's bombing was riding a cycle of violence and rammed the bike into a NATO patrol, setting off his explosives. Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named over the phone on Friday that one of its fighters from Takhar province carried out the attack at 8 p.m. He claimed 11 Americans were killed, but the holy warriors routinely exaggerate their claims. |
