Taliban Kills 8 Civilians

The taliban are always quick to brag that their suicide bombs kill a lot of coalition forces. But almost every time I read an article about suicide bombs in Afghanistan most if not all the dead are always civilians. Reuters

KABUL (Reuters) - A car bomb exploded in a market in the southern Afghan province of Helmand on Wednesday killing at least eight people and wounding 17, police said.

"The explosives were inside a car parked in a weekly market where a sizable number of people were buying and selling goods," said provincial police chief Hussain Andiwal.

"The target was civilians. There no foreign or Afghan forces in the area," he said.
