Another explosion...Saturday's replica

Just recieved news of another suicide attack between Chahrahe Qambar and Afshar. The target was another police bus. The same procedure (in Saturday's attack) was employed by the suicide bomber this morning. He entered a Police Bus before detonating himself. There are casualties, but the number is unknown as yet. We recieved this terrible news at 7.15am this morning.

This is too upsetting!

In the political arena (since Saturdays suicide attack), Karzai has made unsuccessful attempts to reach a truce with the Taliban and warlord Hekmatyar- even offering them cabinet posts in Meshrano Jirga. Both have turned him down. Hekmatyar had recently suggested for foreign troops to be replaced with military troops from Islamic countries and the Taliban rejected Karzais offer issuing an ultimatem that all foreign troops evacuate Afghanistan before they decide to make any peace deals.

"Taliban are not interested in government posts - ministries or anything.
We want the withdrawal of foreign forces and we stand by our position," Qari
Yusuf Ahmadi told news agencies. "As long as they have not withdrawn, we'll
never talk with the Kabul administration." (Source- BBC News)

I guess he's gotten his point across.

Ba omideh deedaar, khuda negahdaar.
