Police in Iraq have reported that a suicide bomber has killed at least six Iraqi civilians in an attack on a checkpoint in the Sunni Arab town of Fallujah.

They say the suicide bomber targeted a joint Iraqi and US military checkpoint in the Al Julan neighbourhood of Fallujah, 50 kilometres west of the capital Baghdad.

In eastern Afghanistan, a suicide bomber has blown himself up among Afghan soldiers, killing four troops and a child.

The extremist Taliban movement, responsible for a wave of suicide attacks across Afghanistan, said one of its men carried out the blast in the eastern province of Khost.

The bomber, who was on foot, blew himself up near a military vehicle on a main road about 25 kilometres from the border with Pakistan.

Four soldiers were killed and four wounded.

A spokesman for the Khost government said a child was killed and three civilians wounded.

Suicide bombings in Iraq and Afghanistan

Is the Taliban what Muslims want? how can so many believe the Taliban .. OR is it that the suicide bomber is afraid the Taliban will butcher their family if they do not blow themselves up.. I think they are afraid.. all this is done under the name of Mohammed.. luckily no teddy bears were used in any tests.

Does our silience make us guilty of the same crimes?

The Taliban makes people blow themselves up or they will kill their whole family that live within their reach.. The Taliban kill innocent people in the name of “Holy Warrior” or Harkat-ul Mujahideen.. Surely this is worse than a childs teddy bear call Mohammad? Where are the muslims now protesting these murders.. Ask God, if Your silence make you guilty of the same crimes?

Would you have the guts to protest when you know that your whole family would be targeted for murder? I wouldn’t!! I don’t have the guts to put my name on this email for fear that they might find me. These guys play for keeps. Thank God that we have a military and a president that will go after these terrorists wherever they are; so that we can continue to speak the truth . . . anonumously.
