A few details of the killing within the Interior Ministry were emerging, although many reports offered conflicting views of what had happened. According to three Afghan security officials familiar with the case, the main suspect was Abdul Saboor, who was said to have worked in the ministry for more than a year as a driver. The two American officers who were killed were shot in the head and the pistol used to kill them was equipped with a silencer, the officials said.

Afghan officials said that Mr. Saboor was at large, apparently able to leave the ministry without complication after the shooting. That suggested to some observers that he may have had help in the attack.

It really would be good for the whole world if several tens of thousands of us all over the world, all on the same day, burned Quran’s. Just burned them by the thousands, recorded the whole thing, and posted the videos on YouTube. The muzzies would riot all over the place and once they’ve settled down, we’d do it again. We’d just bbq Quran’s till they were used to it. All told it would probably take a a couple months of coordinated Quran burnings before the whole “lets riot whenever someone tells us a Quran was desecrated” thing will be over. These Muslims would, whether they liked it or not, eventually get used to the idea they can’t actually stop people from burning their religious book and most of em’ would move on to being fanatical about something else.

If a silencer that would answer the question of why no one shot back, yet is this story to be believed?

The two men, whose names have not been released, were shot in the back of the head while working at their desks.

I can’t help loathing the muzzies. I’d like not to but I can’t. Only the muzzies can help me do that.

“....apparently able to leave the ministry without complication after the shooting.”

.
A.k.a. inside job.

Sheesh, why are we still there and why are we importing more of them into the US?

Are we really that enamored with suicide?

That can’t be. Heavy intensity conflicts are a thing of the past, and invasion, occupation and denazification wouldn’t work again.

With the economy and all, the hordes of diplomats missed their chances to return to being soda jerks.
