Kabul - Eight Arab, five Pakistani and two Afghan militants were killed when bombs they were making exploded prematurely inside a mosque in eastern Afghanistan, the Interior Ministry said Sunday.

The insurgents were assembling bombs in Desi Mosque of Yousifkhela district in the south-eastern province of Paktika on Friday, the ministry said.

Pakika borders the Pakistani town of Wana, where Taliban militants are said to have training bases. Afghan officials have repeatedly blamed Islamabad for not doing enough to clamp down on cross-border infiltration by insurgents.

In the northern province of Kunduz, several Taliban fighters including a foreign insurgent commander were killed Saturday by a NATO airstrike in Chardarah district, NATO said on Sunday.

'After verifying insurgent activity and conducting careful planning to avoid civilian casualties and mitigate collateral damage, coalition aircraft were called in for the precision airstrike,' it said.

The targeted commander coordinated logistical support and operations 'with the Taliban's Pakistan foreign fighter cell leadership,' it said.

NATO also confirmed the death of one of its soldiers in a roadside explosion in southern Afghanistan on Saturday. The alliance had already reported the deaths of five more troops killed in separate attacks in the country on Saturday.

Saturday's deaths brought the total of foreign soldiers killed in the war this year to 309, compared with the 157 deaths registered between January and June of 2009, according to iCasualties.org.

“major work accident”

LOL! Too funny.

Perhaps a 6-month moratorium on IED building should be imposed by the insurgent’s leadership.

No pictures for humnanitarian reasons.

Gee that makes enemy combatant stupidity our most cost effective weapon.

Damn good start!

[LeoWindhorse]

All mosques should be considered as legitimate targets in this war against the idiot Jihadis. They cynically use them for such activities without any reservations , just as they also think nothing of hiding behind women and children human shields .

If it’s got minarets , blow it up

[Red_Devil 232]

If we just did this to every existing mosque the World would be a better place!

[Niuhuru]

Well, fifteen dead and we didn’t have to waste any bullets.

Perhaps their next of kin’s lawyers could site Wile E. Coyote v. Acme. If you beleive that “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again”, then suicide bombing is not for you.

Clearly, Obama needs to better enforce OSHA standards in Afghanistan.

Sounds like a legitimate ‘workers comp’ issue...oh well, more paperwork for the terrorists.
