I have to say this is really the first major thing I’ve heard happen where someone has been killed in Afghanistan and to me just looks like the start of new attacks by anti government militants. After a Tanker packed with explosives was captured and a fairly quiet election two weeks ago even with the marker pen uproar. “The Taleban takes responsibility for the suicide attack in Kabul... We plan more attacks,"
