Explosion injures acting governor, 7 others
KABUL, Afghanistan - An explosion Thursday in southeast Afghanistan injured the acting governor of Khost province and several other officials, the Interior Ministry said.
The bomb - placed in a trash can near the wall of the governor's compound - slightly injured him and seven other officials, the ministry said in a statement.
The explosion occurred in the same province where seven CIA employees and contractors were killed December 30 on a U.S. base.
Journalist Matiullah Mati contributed to this report.
The CIA must have been in charge of security and forgot to do a background check on the cleaning crew.
Perhaps the Muslim bombers are sending the CIA a clear message that they are hunting the CIA and the Xe CIA Contractors formerly known as Blackwater employees.
