Samon described the blast as an improvised explosive device, but according to a NATO news release, it was a suicide blast.
Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Zahir Azimi said the explosion, near a NATO military base, injured five Afghan soldiers and some civilians.
It took place in a small local carpet market, he said.

You are really brave Joel 2208. Are you in the military too?
Thank you Dindy,although it's not true.
American soldiers are the only ones standing in the way of these attacks, if we leave, they"ll only get worse, lets finish what we started and eliminate the Taliban threat!
Joel, you ought to know better than that or are you trying to be funny?
Sorry Greg,I was just trying to get a joke in edgeways. Of course I know better that what I posted above.
BETTER TO PRETEND LIKE GODS THEN PRETENDING LIKE SATAN.
Roy..this is the news you came running to tell. you must be very happy ?? who knows next time they kill you also.
La. truth of 360 degrees is a cult which kills for their own beliefs without regard to who might be killed!
PAKTIA, Dec. 05 – As many 19 NATO invaders and their local minions got killed and 13 were severely hurt in the martyrdom attack by a lone heroic Afghan Mujahid of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, aimed at the joint enemy Corps 203 in Gardez city, the capital of Paktia, Mujahideen officials said Sunday.
As per details, the martyr attack was carried out by Mujahid Gul, coming from Ghazni province as the combined US-NATO invaders and puppets gathered at the newly-built bazaar within the Qul-e-Urdu (Corps) known as Sunday Bazaar, killing and wounding dozens of the US-NATO and Afghan puppets on the spot.
The successful martyr attack comes as the fresh wave martyrdom operations have quickened pace
And the martyr will burn in hell for eternity!!!
So.....? They knew that they were going to fight in a war. They are brave soldiers. This is not something to count and shout because it was not a foot ball game. These brave men sacrificed for a reason that they believed whether you like it or not.
May God take all of us out from this terrible situation. Amen!!!
Soon, very soon Dindy...
Thank you Dan.
correction....ourselves...not our self
We know few men who went to heaven (Elijah, Moses and Jesus) They did not Blast them selves to go to Heaven. These people sacrifice their lives with others to worship blood thirst devil. Those days there were same kind of people like this who used to cut their hands and offer blood that they will be answered by God . But their God was not the true God. But a god named Baal 🙁 How come a Holy God be happy when see his children get blast and die in pieces. This body is given to us by God. So how can we use it the way we want. It belongs to God. We cant blast it when we want unless god make us depart from it in God"s own time.
Love in no way by any means is submission!!!!!!!!
Gary...agree with you.
Well I don't. The NATO forces must leave!
must be drinking the msnbc olberman kool-aide
This is terrible. We can't have this going on,no way!!!
