In the last day a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a wedding hosted by an anti-Taliban tribal leader, and insurgents publicly hanged someone who they labeled a spy for local troops. Men stand around coffins of blast victims outside a hospital in Kandahar city, Afghanistan, Thursday, June 10, 2010. A suicide attack ripped through a wedding party in full swing in the Taliban's heartland in southern Afghanistan late Wednesday, killing 40 people and wounding dozens more, officials said. The Afghan accused of spying was a 7-year-old boy. He was hanged from a tree in front of a crowd in Helmand's Sangin district, where more than a thousand British troops are based. He was the son and grandson of prominent tribal leaders, one of whom had recently spoken out against the Taliban, according to local journalists. "A 7-year-old boy cannot be a spy," President Hamid Karzai said in a press conference in Kabul. "A 7-year-old boy cannot be anything but a 7-year-old boy, and therefore hanging or shooting to kill a 7-year-old boy ... is a crime against humanity." http://abcnews.go.com/WN/Afghanistan/bloody-taliban-revenge-hangs-boy-attacks-wedding/story?id=10879315 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, there's only Jordan, Iraq and Iran between them. I expect they communicate easily using can-and-string telephones. And Afghans are Arabs, right?(You'd think people who post rubbish would be embarrassed when their ignorance pointed out).... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Iceburner 0 #12 June 11, 2010 in doing my pre-deployment training and talking to many Afghan natives, i'd like to point out that there is a difference between the Taliban and the insurgents...although the media lables all of them Taliban because that's who we ousted from power. Yes, a lot of Taliban are fighting, but the Taliban in general are people that attended Madrasas....not radicals. When they got the power, some went radical...not all.
