Mohammad Mubarez, an Afghan cleric, prays during an event to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attack on the United States, at the U.S. embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011
Kabul - A powerful Taliban truck bomb that wounded 77 American soldiers and killed five Afghans outside a combat outpost served as a reminder on Sunday that 10 years after the Sept. 11 attacks, nearly 100,000 U.S. troops are still fighting a war that shows no signs of slowing down.
No U.S. troops were killed when the massive bomb loaded on a truck filled with firewood exploded Saturday night just outside the gates of Combat Outpost Sayed Abad in eastern Wardak province. NATO said a protective barrier at the entrance absorbed most of the force of the blast, although the area outside the base was hit hard.
Officials said the Afghans killed included a policeman and four civilians, including a 3-year-old girl. Another 17 Afghans - 14 civilians and three policemen - were wounded. The provincial governor said the blast was so powerful it damaged about 100 shops in the nearby Sayed Abad bazaar.
Although Saturday's truck bombing occurred outside the base, the numbers of injuries it caused was significant. Combat outposts usually house about 200 troops.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. Earlier, they had issued a statement vowing to fight until all foreign troops leave. The radical Islamic movement, which gave shelter to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida when it ruled Afghanistan, also stressed that it had no role in the Sept. 11 attacks, and it accused the U.S. of using them as a pretext to invade the country.
Comment: There is just so much propaganda in this story that it is difficult to deal with line by line. Al-CIAda is a U.S., Israeli sponsored false flag terror organization. Bin-Laden was framed and known to have been
under watch on Sept. 10th, the day before America was attacked.
Here are a few nuances a person might consider about 9-11, S-Elections in the U.S., how propaganda is made by the media and many wide ranging cover-ups across the whole political spectrum. You might also notice Rice and Powell say Saddam is NOT a threat to anyone in early 2001.
Comment: It's obvious to anyone with two neurons firing that our society is in a very dire state. Lies are pervasive in every aspect of our lives, and science is not an exception. Read the latest issue of the Dot Connector magazine to understand to what extent greed, ego, power machinations and other psychopathic influences manifest themselves in science and in scientific community, and how we learned to accept the corruption to our own collective detriment.
