Bombs killed 12 Afghan construction workers in two separate incidents in the eastern part of the country, NATO's International Security Assistance Force said on Friday.
The bombs Thursday were "insurgent-planted improvised explosive devices," the international force said.
Nine of the workers were killed in the Bar Kunar district of Kunar province. Three others were killed and two more wounded in the Qarabaugh district of Ghazni province.
"The Taliban continue to show blatant disregard for innocent civilian life, despite guidance issued by Mullah Omar to avoid civilian casualties," said Maj. Patrick Seiber, spokesman for Regional Command East.
"It appears that Mullah Omar has lost command and control of the Taliban, and they are operating independently of his authority."
This is what happens when you don't wear your safety glasses!!!!!
TALIBAN OUTSIDE U.S.-JUST A MEANS TO FUNEL POLITICAL AGENDAS AND MONIES-–WITHIN THE U.S.; A REAL SECURITY BREECH. START RECRUITING THOSE SPECIALIZED HOME OPERATIVES YOU KNOW YOU MUST HAVE IN THE INTELLIGENCE NETWORKS, AND STOP THIS WASTED TALK OF "OVER THERE"-THERE IS NO EARTHLY CONCEPT OF LEGITIMACY OF CONTROLLING ANYTHING HALF A WORLD AWAY-IT IS LUDICROUS–AS IN-LOOK AT VIETNAM TODAY. CASE CLOSED!
I CAN LISTEN TO DIATRIBES FROM PUNDITS THAT TRY TO IMPLEMENT SOME POLICY AT THE COST OF YOUNG, VIABLE LIVES-AND ALL I SEE IN RETURN ARE ROWS OF CROSSES ON A HILLSIDE-NEITHER LIFE NOR POLICY HAS BEEN PRESERVED.
MINDLESS PRATTLE ABOUT ENDLESS WAR-GO SHOOT TARGETS OR HUNT ANIMALS FOR FOOD–WAR IS NOT SPORT, NOR IS IT SOUND POLICY, NOR CAN YOU WRING YOUR HANDS AND PLEAD WITH GOD TO SANCTIFY THIS ACTIVITY-IT IS GODLESS, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO.
I thought you said case closed or should i have said CASE CLOSED you obnoxious self opinionated idiot.
I just wish that all these right-wing idiots would quit vomitting their ignorance on this site and just shut up for a change!
If you are going to 'take someone to task' about their ignorance try to get it right. Vomiting has only one 't'
Thank you Bubba,for the tip.Now wise up and forget all that right-wing mumbo-jumbo.
And lose the extraneous punctuation while you are about it.
@ Zabihullah Mujahid: Are you as stupid as you sound?
“They were lost. ....they tried to escape and were killed,” said Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban.....“They carried Bibles into Dari, maps, GPRS systems. They used to map the positions of the fighters’ Taliban, said the spokesman.
Let's examine this statement.
They had GPS systems and were lost? Not likely. They tried to escape? Possibly, when they knew you were going to shoot defenseless humanitarians. Could they have simply used the GPS systems to find their destination? First you claim they are lost then you claim they have the skill to use their GPS to report Taliban fighter positions. What, in between administering medical aid to the people?
LIES MURDEROUS LIES
Tell Bloomberg and the other imbeciles to start drinking water and lay off the Kool-Aid. Here's an up-to-the-minute story of the peace, love & compassion these people show. Doctors, saving lives, murdered (er welcomed) by those with a different ideology.
The Taliban has claimed that it has killed eight foreigners and their two Afghan interpreters for spreading Christianity.
“These people were preaching Christianity and we punished them,” a Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid was quoted as saying.
Perhaps we should add prayer stones for them in the new mosque that Bloomberg and others think is a great thing to do at the 9/11 site in NY.
There is some disturbing noice in these comments in order to avoid a serious discussion. The reality is that the Taliban are not Al Qaida and could not consign Bin Laden to US. US military are fighting a senseless war while the ones who are planning some attempts are hidding in every country. The Al Qaida leaders are protected by Al Qaeda members with better weapons than the Taliban. USA is multipling the enemy and the terrorists to help the war industries spending the money of US tax payers.

You can't face the truth can you.
Face the truth he/she can't even type it.
No,whoever you are,It hurts very much to see this country being dumbed down by the right-wing thugs in Washington.That does make the truth hard to face but I try.
You seem to be the one dumbing the country down with your tedious rants about the "right wing"
How much longer is this crap going to go on?Why don't we just give this stupid war up as a bad job?I say just let the Russians rebuild their country!
