    Did not see this on many main stream news feeds.

    Things like this that happen regularly will only harden the resolve of the afghans. Like the way innocent people were killed on bloody Sunday attributed to rising number's of IRA member's. This will be a coup for the Taliban ect.

    Prepare for a few posters trying to explain how they were freedom bombs so they should be grateful.

    Terrible incident.

    But the Taliban plant car bombs that kill dozens almost every other day and there's also rarely a mention.

    Sounds like this was a tragic accident, whereas Taliban mass attacks on civilians are usually if not always deliberate.

    You're right, but State forces should and must be held to a far higher standard than rebel forces.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    How much would thing's like this undermine a President who is only in power because the US prop him up.

    More civilians have been killed by the occupational force's then any other group. It's never going to end.

    Remember it was a long time ago Bush said mission accomplished.
