Suicide bombers crop up in Afghanistan

i receive infrequent but informative reports from my friend in kabul... in one, he attached a picture of himself wearing a helmet... if you knew this person, that is the very last personal accessory you could have ever imagined him wearing... it sounds like he may be wearing it more often now...

The attacks have been particularly noteworthy for their use of suicide bombers. Some have struck in waves, with one explosive-laden car following the next in an effort to maximize casualties. That sort of attack has been a hallmark of al Qaeda and a regular occurrence in Iraq. But in Afghanistan, suicide attacks of any kind have been relatively rare, despite a quarter-century of warfare.

Attackers have also shown a growing appetite for strikes in cities, particularly Kabul, setting residents' nerves on edge and leading them to take new security precautions at work, home and social events.

does everything we touch turn to shit...?
