Ahmadulla, a member of the Taliban, created a suicide bomber attack surrounding a farming village in a Zahari district in Kabul where American troops were trying to restore Afghan government control for the country. This man drove a minivan filled with 2,000 kilograms of explosives into a building, which killed six U.S. troops. This was a newly built building in the Kandahar Province. This is just one of the many casualties the soldiers have been recently facing while trying to build small outposts in the country’s second largest city. This city is also the birthplace of the Taliban movement that has affected many for the past few years because of their want to regain stronger control. Two weeks earlier, Afghan guards located at the country’s border killed six U.S. trainers adding to the 670 NATO troops killed. Mines and roadside bombings have caused some of the deadliest incidences. Members of the country’s commission led by Fazl Ahmad Manawi have also been arrested based on fraud charges interpreted as signs of intimidation on the government during its recent parliamentary election. Even though the Taliban has caused so many deaths and troubles for the U.S. troops and citizens of Afghanistan, it is the courageous efforts of the American men and women that will strengthen and provide a just government for the country to abide. You have to sometimes think, what is going on in the minds of those suicide bombers? They must be really dedicated to their countries and leaders to do that, or they are just really messed up. There are definitely a lot of better ways to go about fighting, and not going about killing yourself. The United States troups have been very effective with their strategy without doing suicide bombings. I guess its just the Taliban that’s produces these crazy people to go out and fight against us. It is very scary sometimes to think what they will do in order to attack the United States.
