Four killed in blasts in Afghanistan
Source: Sify (India)

Four civilians were killed in separate blasts in Afghanistan as Taliban militants torched six fuel tankers destined for NATO forces in the southern region, officials said Sunday.

The civilians, including a child and a woman, were killed in a total of four separate blasts in the eastern provinces of Khost, Nangarhar and Paktika and the western province of Ghor Saturday, the interior ministry said in a statement.

Eight other civilians, including four women, were injured in the attacks, it said.

Three of the blasts were triggered by roadside bombs, which were planted by 'enemies of our country', the statement said, referring to Taliban fighters. The fourth explosion was caused by an old rocket shell.

1. This just demonstrates the brutality of the Taliban!
President Obama was right to increase our forces there. We should fight until victory is ours!

grow up.

Explain to me what a REAL attainable victory will look like in this, the longest war we've ever been involved in. In the meantime, go sign up to serve 3 or 4 or 5 tours there.
