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.
Obama has ordered Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis to investigate ways of providing their next of kin with survivor benefits and the survivors with disability benefits. Oh, and he told her to make sure the checks are delivered with his personal apology on behalf of the United States for our role in forcing them to make the bombs as part of their outrage.
I was waiting for someone to say that. When are we going to outlaw Islam. Any Religion that advocates murdering non believers has to be rejected.

So if Obama wants to be consistent with his oil drilling policy after the accident in the Gulf, shouldn’t he then ban the building of mosques in the US? That would include the Financial District of NYC.
Do you suppose they had insurance?
AFLAC AKBAR!
They are now organizing a class-action lawsuit against NOKIA for failure to warn consumers that cell phones should not be used as detonators.
Must have been one HELL of a sermon!
"May the Good Lord Take A Likin' To Ya And Blow Ya Up Real Soon!"
Doesn’t it make you wonder what they’re doing inside the mosques in this country?
Since they all went at once and parts are all mixed up do they get 1080 virgins or 72? 1080 Hellen Thomas look alikes would a disaster in itself.
