Excerpt -

A suicide bomber has rammed a car full of explosives into the gates of the Indian embassy in the Afghan capital, killing 28 people, officials say.

A spokesman for the health ministry said 141 people were injured, including civilians and security forces.

The attack is one of the deadliest - after a relatively quiet period in Kabul. The Taleban have vowed to step up their attacks on the capital.

No regard at all for life. Kill whoever just to create a big mess. I hope these suicide bombers and their sponsors end up on the lowest level of dante’s hell.

Targeting the civilian population is what gave Al Queda a black eye in Iraq. The home-grown militias eventually refused to work with them. Some people never learn.

I won’t be surprised if this is traced back to Pakistan. Pakistan and India will be at it again.

28 Dead, 141 Wounded.

Mostly members of the public lined up to seek visas. No embassy staffers hurt.

I hope this AP situation gets resolved soon, but we've got to take a stand for our fair use rights.

Whatever happened to the AP's guidelines that they were supposed to issue?

Gee, this must be in retaliation for the Indian military which is in Afghanistan (and Iraq) fighting against Islamofacism. /s

Someone must not have told those who practice the Religion of "Pieces" that Jihad should only apply to the eeeevil Big--and Little--Satans, us and Israel.
