KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AFP) - Militants loyal to Afghanistan's ousted Taliban regime killed seven Afghan police and beheaded two civilians in the country's insurgency-hit south, a provincial governor said.

The policemen were killed in an ambush Wednesday on a three-vehicle convoy on a highway between Uruzgan province and Kandahar, a former Taliban hotbed, Uruzgan governor Jan Mohammad told AFP on Thursday.

One of the vehicles escaped the ambush but two were destroyed.

"Seven police were killed on the spot and two are missing. The two vehicles were destroyed as well," Mohammad said.

I mentioned a nuke on Mecca.... boy, did she get po'd. She said it'd be the same as blowing up the Vatican, and all hell would break loose... The Muslims would destroy the planet. My response was, "well they're doing a pretty good job, aren't they?"

That's what separates us from them. If they had the capability to drop a nuke on any one of our cities, they wouldn't think twice. We on the other hand, however a good idea it may seem have restraint and a strong sense of humanity.

Agreed. I'd have nuked Mecca and Medina a long time ago, were it my decision to make.

If nothing else, it would prove to the uneducated and illiterate moose-limbs that Allah is NOT an omnipotent God.
