And CUI BONO, 'eh?
"The blast went off near the entrance to a police and army post.... US troops are also stationed inside the outpost, but no troops were wounded or killed in the attack.... the attack came as Pashtun tribal elders from Mandozai District were meeting inside the compound to discuss security issues"
"Suicide truck bombing kills 14 Afghan schoolchildren, US says; Deadly explosion recorded by US military camera" by Jason Straziuso and Amir Shah, Associated Press | December 29, 2008
KABUL, Afghanistan - A single-file line of school children walked past a military checkpoint yesterday as a bomb-loaded truck veered toward them and exploded, killing 14 young Afghans in a flash captured by a US military security camera.
The video shows a sport utility vehicle slowly weaving through sandbag barriers at a military checkpoint just as a line of schoolchildren, most wearing white caps, comes into view. They walk along a pathway between the street and a wall, several of them pausing for a few seconds in a group before moving forward again. The vehicle moves toward the security camera while the children walk in the opposite direction, nearly passing the SUV when the footage ends in a fiery blast.
Photos of the bombing's aftermath showed bloodied textbooks lying on the ground beside small pairs of shoes. Afghan officials said the children were attending a final day of class for the year to find out whether they would move up to the next grade. Dr. Abdul Rahman, a doctor at a hospital near the blast, said the children were ages 8 to 10.
The US military said the attack in the eastern province of Khost killed 16 people, including 14 children, an Afghan soldier and another person, probably a private security guard that Afghan officials reported killed. The United States said 58 people were wounded. In an angry condemnation of the attack, President Hamid Karzai said those that carried it out "cannot escape the revenge of Afghans and God's punishment."
The UN mission in Afghanistan and the NATO-led force also strongly condemned the attack. The blast went off near the entrance to a police and army post, said Yacoub Khan, the deputy police chief of Khost. US troops are also stationed inside the outpost, but no troops were wounded or killed in the attack.
US General David McKiernan, the top NATO commander in Afghanistan, said he believes the militant network run by warlord Siraj Haqqani was responsible for the attack. "The brutality and disregard for human life by terrorists is sickening, as I continue to witness innocent men, women and children being killed and maimed in the pursuit of this pointless insurgency," McKiernan said....
Yeah, and HOW MANY AIR BOMBS were LAID ON THEM in the pursuit of this POINTLESS EMPIRE, you MASS-MURDERING FUCK?!!!

Khan said the attack came as Pashtun tribal elders from Mandozai District were meeting inside the compound to discuss security issues. It was not immediately clear how many, if any, of those tribal leaders were wounded or killed. Khan said it was possible they were the target but that there was no way for him to know for sure.
The attack occurred on the last day of school for the year. Students had gathered in the classrooms to receive end-of-year certificates and learn if they had passed on to the next grade, said Asif Nang, a spokesman for the Ministry of Education.
A UN spokesman said the UN mission in Afghanistan was "appalled" at the suicide attack. "The deaths of young children who were receiving their end-of-year education certificates are particularly galling," said Dan McNorton.
The blast in Khost Province came only hours after a late-night rocket attack in Kabul on Saturday killed three teenage sisters. McNorton said that attack "also reminds us of the true impact this conflict has on those who play no part in it."
Violence has spiked across Afghanistan the last two years, and the US plans to send between 20,000 and 30,000 troops to Afghanistan over the next six months to reinforce the 32,000 US forces already in the country.
More than 6,100 people have died in insurgency-related violence this year, according to an Associated Press count of figures from Western and Afghan officials. The year has also been the deadliest for NATO soldiers since the 2001 ouster of the Taliban.

"Suicide bombing kills 34 in Pakistan; Blast comes as Marriott reopens in Islamabad" by Sebastian Abbot, Associated Press | December 29, 2008
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A suicide bomber pretending to need help with his car killed 34 people in northwest Pakistan yesterday while the target of another recent attack, the Marriott in Islamabad, partly reopened three months after a brazen truck bombing at the luxury hotel left 54 dead.
The Marriott building was badly damaged by the September blast - blamed on a Pakistani militant group accused of killing US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002 - but renovations, a security overhaul, and the addition of a giant bombproof wall meant the hotel was ready to welcome guests again, the owner said....
Who Benefits From the Pakistan Attack?

Who Were the "Terrorists" That Bombed the Marriott?

Because You'll Believe Anything: Unknown Terrorist Group Claims Responsibility For Marriot Bombing
The suicide attack yesterday, at a polling station close to the Swat Valley, comes amid concern that extremist violence is set to spike now that Pakistan is shifting troops away from the region toward India....
Yeah, and WHO would be concered about that?!!
Notice how "suiciders" are never murky and opaque when it comes to the MSM reports -- as opposed to U.S. slaughter of civilians!
And let's not forget Iraq, folks!
"US soldier, Iraqi killed in bombings
BAGHDAD - A roadside bomb killed a US soldier in Baghdad's Shi'ite slum of Sadr City yesterday while an Iraqi died when a bicycle-riding suicide bomber blew himself up amid a mass rally against Israel's air strikes on Gaza.
The bigger the lie!!
And why would a PIOUS, JEW-HATING MUSLIM bomb an anti-Israeli rally, hmmm?
Please see Occupation Iraq: Israel's IEDs and related links, readers.
You false-flag fuckers gotta start thinking these things through more!
The two attacks were demonstrations of the violence that still flares up in Iraq as the government prepares to take responsibility for security from the US military in a few days....
Translation: WE AIN'T LEAVING, Amurka!!!!
There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack on the Mosul demonstration, the local police officer said. The rally was one of several throughout Iraq to protest the Israeli attacks.
Yeah, I notice THOSE PROTESTS are QUITE ABSENT from my Zionist War Daily!!
That SAYS it all, and is ONE MORE REASON I don't want to read MSM papers anymore!!!!
