Kabul – A car bomb exploded outside of a compound housing a U.S. military contractor in the Afghan capital Monday, blowing apart an exterior wall, killing at least two Afghan workers and wounding more than a dozen other people, company representatives and police said. In another part of the country, a suspected landmine killed 10 young girls, police said.
The blast on the outskirts of Kabul sent a plume of smoke up in the air and shook windows more than a mile away in the city center.
The security officer for Contrack, a McLean, Va.-based company that builds facilities for military bases, said a suicide attacker drove a vehicle packed with explosives up to the exterior wall of the compound and detonated the bomb. Afghan police said they could not confirm if it was a suicide attack or a remotely detonated bomb that had been placed in a parked vehicle.

Thanks for posting the graphic. Is he a spokesman for the Taliban in Washington?
He IS the taliban in Washington.
I think he’s the godfather of the Cosa Nusra.
obama only cares about death when he can use it for political gain.
Depends on WHERE he is doing his politicking. If it’s in Afghanistan or pockystan, his actions speak louder than his words.
True. He set up our Seals for death... no doubt.

His ROE set up every American servicemember for death from day one...and the numbers of deaths have risen exponentially since his ascension to cic.
We are in total agreement. I despise that bastid.

“...a suspected landmine killed 10 young girls, police said.”
OK, where is the US media coverage, talking heads wringing their hands over the violence...? Is it because the kids were someplace away from the US or because the killers were part of radical Islam and trying to hit our troops? Or because the tragedy was not a good tool to beat conservatives and the NRA?
