The Islamic war on the West rages on .....on this, the tenth anniversary on the worst ever attack on American soil. The US military are still embroiled in the defense of the West against Islamic jihad.

Today, a Muslim homicide bomber driving a truck bomb attacked a Nato base in central Afghanistan, killing four civilians and injuring 77 foreign troops, Nato and Afghan officials said on Sunday.

Afghan Truck Bomb Kills 5; Dozens Wounded NY Times KABUL, Afghanistan — A cargo truck packed with explosives struck a NATO outpost south of the capital late Saturday, killing at least five people and wounding dozens more, including 77 coalition troops, NATO and Afghan officials said Sunday.

Among the dead was an 8-year-old girl whom officials said was hit by flying shrapnel more than a half-mile away.

The injury toll was believed to be one of the worst for foreign forces in a single incident in the decade-long war, and came in the same district of Wardak Province where two months ago insurgents shot down an American Chinook helicopter, killing all 30 Americans and 8 Afghans on board.

[...]

NATO did not release the nationalities of the injured soldiers, but the outpost was run by Americans, who provide most of the soldiers in that region. The bomb struck in the district of Sayed Abad near the main highway that links Kabul to the southern city of Kandahar.

[...]

He said the bomber drove a “jingle truck” filled with explosives. The medium-size cargo trucks are a mainstay of commerce in the country and named for the bright assortment of paintings and noise-making bobbles that adorn them.
