Suicide bomber attacks bus in Kabul, killing 27 soldiers
2007-09-30

A suicide bomber wearing an Afghan army uniform detonated a huge explosion early Saturday while trying to board a military bus, killing 27 soldiers from the Afghan National Army (ANA) and injuring 21 others in western Kabul, media reported Sunday.

The bombing was one of the deadliest in the country this year and no one has claimed responsibility for it. The blast was so powerful that it ripped off the roof of the bus and tore out its sides, catapulted a huge piece of the vehicle into a park across the street and shattered windows in shops and homes throughout the neighborhood. "For 10 or 15 seconds, it was like an atom bomb -- fire, smoke and dust everywhere," said a police officer who witnessed the explosion.

Egypt lets Hamas militants return to Gaza
09.30.07

More than 80 Palestinian militants who had been stranded in Egypt since Hamas seized Gaza in June returned to the territory on Sunday, witnesses said. A senior Hamas figure is said to be among them.

Hamas sources said that the Popular Resistance Committees, a Gaza-based militant group, took part in talks with Egypt on temporarily reopening Rafah. There was no immediate comment from Cairo. Any softening of Egypt's policy toward Hamas would likely anger Abbas and the United States.

Yes.
It was a good overview, I thought.

YouTube is an accurate reflection of our society in general,
in my opinion.

I can almost hear Mae West talking about the really good
and the “very, very bad.”
