Taliban claim Afghan bomb blast
Aug. 30, 2004

At least 15 people have been killed in explosions in an upscale district of the Afghan capital Kabul and at a school in a southeastern province where nine children died, officials say. The Taliban militia, vanquished by a U.S.-led uprising in late 2001, claimed responsibility for the Kabul blast on Sunday, which killed at least three U.S. nationals involved in the training of Afghanistan's new police force and two Afghan policemen. The Taliban, which is waging a campaign of violence to disrupt Afghanistan's presidential elections on October 9, said a suicide bomber died in the attack. "I contacted our colleagues and they said that it was a suicide attack by a Taliban fighter," Taliban spokesman Abdul Latif Hakimi told Reuters by satellite phone. An Afghan official who declined to be named confirmed the five deaths, said that six other local police were injured and that there were some casualties among civilians. He added that the blast was caused by explosives hidden in a car in front of the Interpol police office. The blast in the Shar-i-Naw area of Kabul, where dozens of aid agencies are located, also destroyed six vehicles.

MY COMMENT: I thought Bush had finished the Taliban in Afghanistan.

MY QUESTIONS:Where is Mullah Omar hiding? Why is he not captured yet? Could he be behind these bombings? How is the world a safer place with Saddam in prison?
