13 American NATO Service Members Killed by Suicide Bomber in Afghanistan

(AP) A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a van into an armored NATO bus Saturday in Kabul, killing 13 American troops and four Afghans, U.S. and Afghan officials said, in the deadliest attack on coalition forces in more than two months.
The explosion, which occurred as the convoy was passing the American University, sparked a fireball and littered the street with shrapnel. Heavy black smoke poured from burning wreckage at the site.
The armored personnel carrier, known as a Rhino was sandwiched between of a convoy of mine-resistant military vehicles traveling on a four-lane highway frequently used by NATO forces in a southwestern section of the city.
NATO said 13 service members were killed, but a U.S. official confirmed they were all Americans. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The Afghan Ministry of Interior said three Afghan civilians and one policeman also died in the attack. Eight other Afghans, including two children and four other civilians, were wounded, said Kabir Amiri, head of Kabul hospitals.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the Kabul attack, as well as for another suicide bombing outside a government intelligence office in the northwest province of Kunar.
The attack occurred near the entrance of the American University and the nearby landmark Darulaman Palace, the bombed-out seat of former Afghan kings.
NATO and Afghan forces sealed off the area as fire trucks and ambulances rushed in. An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw two NATO helicopters landing to airlift casualties, while coalition troops using loudspeakers ordered bystanders to evacuate the area.
It was the deadliest single attack against the U.S.-led coalition since the Taliban shot down a NATO helicopter on Aug. 6 in an eastern Afghan province, killing 30 U.S. troops, most elite Navy SEALs, and eight Afghans.
In other violence, a man wearing an Afghan military uniform opened fire on a joint NATO-Afghan base, killing three NATO service members in Uruzgan province, an area in the restive south that is traditionally viewed as the Taliban’s stronghold.
Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammad Zahir Azimi said officials were investigating whether the shooter, who was killed in the incident, was a member of the Afghan army or a militant wearing an army uniform.

Posted on October 29, 2011 at 11:13amMore troops killed in a useless war on behalf of stone age moslems. Let us get out of Obama’s, Clinton’s, McCain’s war as soon as possible. And let us stop using the ruse when soldiers are killed that they are Nato casualties; this is a way of obscuring the fact that every soldier that is killed is in fact an American; there are no German, French, Italian casualties because they do not fight. End the war now and bring all the troops home not only from mideast but also from Europe and Asia.

Posted on October 29, 2011 at 2:29pmKind of funny how when Obama got elected, Code Pink hushed their mouths. Also interesting that the MSM stopped with giving the numbers of US soldiers killed.
Also interesting that wet behind the ears, no military experience, no leadership experience, anti Iraq war, candidate Obama spouted that Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time, and that Afghanistan was the right war at the right time. No one in the MSM wanted to remind him that Empires have collapsed from fighting in Afghanistan. Alexander the Great, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union all took a swing and failed. You will also notice that the surge Obama put into Afghanistan was not aimed at getting OBL, it was geard toward nation building. You can not make chicken salad from chicken crap.
there are plenty of NATO troops in Afghanistan, and most are a wast of time and space, and provide little to nothing. The Brits and Canadians were the only NATO troops that were of much use when I was there last year. I believe it was the Italians and Spanish that were paying off the taliban not to hit them, in return for them no actually doing anything other than building fancy FOBs to live on.

Posted on October 29, 2011 at 3:01pm65% of the Casualties are American. I expect as the war goes on that percentage will be higher.
1,757 American deaths in Afghanistan, which 39% of the deaths in Iraq. But you wouldn’t know it, because the LSM does not report a death count every night with a a Democrat President.
The execrable Liberal press & the rest of the left always says there are no coalition forces. They said the same of Iraq. Then they crowed every time the browbeat a country into pulling out like Spain & Honduras, which showed their lie.

Posted on October 29, 2011 at 11:31amExactly right! What was the mission of the undeclared war to begin with? Kill the terrorists? Try again. Iraq and Afghanistan are the biggest theatrical productions I have ever seen. This is not a war, it’s a dog and pony show run by corporations for profit. It only took the United States and it’s allies four (4) years to defeat Germany and Japan on two fronts. (My father was a B-25 pilot in the Pacific killing Japanese left and right.)
I had a commander in the Marine Corps, a Lt. Colonel, that said, “If you’re not going to move through the objective, kick @$$ and take names, then plant the Stars and Stripes on the high ground then don’t bother.” That, my friends, is my idea of winning a war. What is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan is bravo sierra and waste of American lives, time, and a huge amount of money.
In the end we will walk away with what? End to the drugs being manufactured in Afghanistan? Nope! New occupied territory and oils for the United States? Nope! More control over the “terrorists” and other enemies of the U.S.? Nope! We walk away with nothing. What a deal.
Now the Border Patrol is letting the Canadian border pretty much go as well. This is nuts.
We need the military back home to guard our borders. Especially the National Guard that has no business even being overseas. they need to be on the southern border protecting the U.S. citizens from the Mexican invasion.

Posted on October 29, 2011 at 12:19pmYour screen name says you’re a conservative. I suggest you research the concept and realize you are closer to the liberal neo-conservative agenda than you are to true conservatism (as the founding fathers were). Then your screen name and comments wouldn’t be so conflicting (ignorant) in nature.

Posted on October 29, 2011 at 1:04pmLMAO> You VECHORIK. The Libertarian Party/Ideology has more in common with the “New Left” these days more so than it does with the “Old Right.” You can wish yourselves the title of being the children of the Founding Fathers, but just like the left has corrupted our society over the years… Libertarians corrupt the memory of those men by not being able to move into the reality of the world as it is today. A Libertarian society will further this Liberal corruption of our society in the name of Libertine Liberty and Freedom as just a mask for further continuance of self indulgance, self importance and eventually… self destruction.
Take Ron Paul’s endless years in Congress… the Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves.

I like what Judge Andrew Napolitano has to say about it — it’s a mirror to show us who we really are
