Suicide blast targets US convoy in Kabul, Afghan - 06 Oct 07

Al Jazeera's Hamish MacDonald reports on Saturday's suicide attack on a US military convoy in Kabul.

It is six years since US forces arrived in Afghanistan, but signs abound that the Taliban is fighting back.

At 8.15 on Saturday morning the latest strike occurred - a suicide bomber drove directly into a US convoy.

This is already the most violent year this country has seen since the fall of the Taliban. The Taliban claims this attack is the 13th suicide bombing carried out during Ramadan. At least four vehicles were destroyed and again, women and children were among the casualties.

US and Nato soldiers secured the scene as the wounded were taken to hospital. Government officials have condemned the violence, but once again the Taliban is warning more bombings should be expected by the end of Ramadan.

@ClipMaster93 Hey baster child, please fix your sentence, go back to school and learn grammar! After you did that, you should research and learn more about Islam, which translates to Peace. Now only Us Muslims know that killing anyone is against the religion, specially in the Holy Month of Ramadan! Now I have this to tell you and I want you to put your glasses on, Taliban do not represent the religion of Islam, in fact this video itself says that Taliban are not Muslims since they kill people.

@ClipMaster93 if you don't know what islam is you shouldn't use this expression

where's the point of discussing if you don't have clearly defined words?

you make the whole conversation pointless from the beginning

the afghan and foreign nationals who blow themselves up dont do it because they are clever. the majority are village idiots with sever drug dependencys whilst others have had theyre family kidnapped and are willing to sacrifice themselves to save them. thats why us soldiers dont do it
