Insurgents linked to the former Taliban regime have set off a wave of violence in Afghanistan, launching a string of almost daily bombings and assassinations that have killed dozens of U.S. and Afghan military personnel and civilians in recent weeks while spreading fear throughout the international aid worker community.
Analysts say the rash of attacks appears calculated to undermine stability in the lead-up to parliamentary elections scheduled for September and has undercut predictions by U.S. and Afghan officials during the winter that the radical Islamic militia was on the verge of collapse.
No doubt these are ‘dead enders’ in their last throes, desperate because they fear freedom. Fuck, even though they are in Afghanistan, they probably are just Sunni Arab Ba’athists pissed off about their loss of privileges. Or, perhaps they work for Musab al-Zarqawi-Gump.
