Up to 15, mostly foreigners, killed in Kabul suicide attack Reuters IMF representative killed in Kabul, Fund says Reuters 'No possible justification' for Kabul restaurant attack: US AFP [$$] Kabul Bombing Targets Foreigners The Wall Street Journal UN staff, US academic among 21 dead in Kabul attac - A Taliban suicide bomber and gunmen attacked a restaurant popular with foreigners in the heart of the Afghan capital Kabul, killing 21 people including three United Nations staff and the International Monetary Fund's top representative in Afghanistan.
Gunmen burst into the Lebanese restaurant spraying diners with bullets after the bomber blew himself up near the entrance around 7:30 p.m. local time on Friday, just as people had sat down for dinner.
Thirteen foreigners were among those killed, according to police, and details about the victims began to trickle through on Saturday.
The U.S. State Department said three U.S. private citizens were killed. Britain and Canada confirmed they each lost two nationals and Denmark said one of its citizens also died.

That’s OK. UN officials are like Doritos - they’ll make more.
The IMF in Afghanistan?
I suppose that could be in James “Jim” Phelps’ arena depending on the mission at hand... I wonder if any of the old team are still around, though... Roland, Cinnamon, Barney and Willy.
Because they can ... and they WILL
What was the payoff for Obama this time?
I went to this Lebanese restaurant many times when I lived there for a couple of years. It was two blocks from the guest house where I lived and I never felt safe there - or in my guest house. There is no security from something like this there.
You’re so cute. These people were actually there trying to help the Afghanis. Two of the Americans taught at the US sponsored university there (one taught economics, which they certainly need) and another person killed, a Danish woman, was a police officer who was trying to professionalize their police force.
So think again. This was a horrible act. It was bad not only for the victims but for the Afghan people. If we has a real President, he’d be going after the Taliban for this. But we have a jerk who doesn’t care and in fact is probably on their side. Don’t support him with silly remarks.
Fund says Reuters ‘No possible justification’ for Kabul restaurant attack...
They are Islam, they have all the justification they
need.

Yep, ‘Infidels Die’ they really do have the mentality of the cardboard men playing Japanese in WW2 movies, ‘MALINE TONIGHT YOU DIE’.
Attacks provide a reason for continued Western military presence, which somehow “can’t stop” opium production.
Same for the IMF re-distributors. Not sure how sad and tragic I feel about this one. After the IMF tells the US sovereign government they cannot stop QE infinity. 80 Billion dollars a month to banks and wall street forever man.
