A Taliban suicide bomber killed 8 people while wounding others yesterday in an upscale Kabul supermarket that caters to wealthy westerners. The dead included a child.
The Taliban were trying to kill a senior Blackwater official, a firm the U.S. uses to provide security, but one heavily despised in the Arab world for its brutal treatment of Iraq and Afghan non-combatants.
The Afghan War is now over 10 years old and the U.S. and its allies, foreign powers widely view as occupiers, are in charge of security across Afghanistan. Only in Kabul do Afghan forces have responsibility, as the death and destruction continues with no end in sight.
