Suicide Bombers Strike During Chuck Hagel’s Surprise Visit to Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Militants staged two deadly suicide attacks Saturday to mark the first full day of U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s visit to Afghanistan, a fresh reminder that insurgents continue to fight and challenges remain as the U.S.-led NATO force hands over the country’s security to the Afghans.

A suicide bomber on a bicycle struck outside the Afghan Defense Ministry early Saturday morning, and about a half hour later, another suicide bomber attacked a police checkpoint in Khost city, the capital of Khost province in eastern Afghanistan.

Nine people were killed in the bombing at the ministry, and an Afghan policeman and eight civilians, who were mostly children, died in the blast in Khost, said provincial spokesman Baryalai Wakman.

“This attack was a message to him,” Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said of Hagel, in an email to reporters about the defense ministry attack.

Hagel was nowhere near the blasts, but heard them across the city. He told reporters traveling with him that he wasn’t sure what it was when he heard the explosion.

“We’re in a war zone. I’ve been in war, so shouldn’t be surprised when a bomb goes off or there’s an explosion,” said Hagel, a Vietnam War veteran.

Asked what his message to the Taliban would be, he said that the U.S. was going to continue to work with its allies to insure that the Afghan people have the ability to develop their own country and democracy.

Hagel’s first visit to Kabul as Pentagon chief comes as the U.S. and Afghanistan grapple with a number of disputes, from the aborted handover of a main detention facility – canceled at the last moment late Friday as a deal for the transfer broke down – to Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s demand that U.S. special operations forces withdraw from Wardak province just outside Kabul over allegations of abuse.

The prison transfer, originally slated for 2009, has been repeatedly delayed because of disputes between the U.S. and Afghan governments about whether all detainees should have the right to a trial and who will have the ultimate authority over the release of prisoners the U.S. considers a threat.

The Afghan government has maintained that it needs full control over which prisoners are released as a matter of national sovereignty. The issue has threatened to undermine ongoing negotiations for a bilateral security agreement that would govern the presence of U.S. forces in Afghanistan after the current combat mission ends in 2014.

U.S. military officials said Saturday’s transfer ceremony was canceled because they could not finalize the agreement with the Afghans, but did not provide details. Afghan officials were less forthcoming.

“The ceremony is not happening today,” Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said, without elaborating.

Regarding Wardak, Karzai set a deadline for Monday for the pullout of the U.S. commandos, over allegations that joint U.S. and Afghan patrols engaged in a pattern of torture, kidnappings and summary executions.

“Each of those accusations has been answered and we’re not involved,” said Brigadier Adam Findlay, NATO’s deputy chief of staff of operations. “There are obviously atrocities occurring there, but it’s not linked to us, and the kind of atrocities we are seeing, fingers cut off, other mutilations to bodies, is just not the way we work.”

Findlay said NATO officials have made provisional plans to withdraw special operations forces, if Karzai sticks to his edict after meetings this weekend with Hagel and top military commander in Afghanistan Gen. Joseph Dunford.

“What we’ve got to try to do is go to a middle ground that meets the president’s frustration,” but also keeps insurgents from using Wardak as a staging ground to launch attacks on the capital, Findlay said. “That plan would be that you would put in your more conventional forces into Wardak,” to replace the special operators and maintain security, he said.

NATO officials see the weekend violence as part of the Taliban’s coming campaign for the spring fighting season. “There’s a series of attacks that have started as the snow is thawing. We had a potential insider attack yesterday … and there’s been a number of attacks on the border,” Findlay explained.

The suspected insider attack occurred in Kapisa province in eastern Afghanistan several hours before Hagel arrived Friday. Three men presumed to be Afghan soldiers forced their way onto a U.S. base and opened fire, killing one U.S. civilian contractor and wounding four U.S. soldiers, according to a senior U.S. military official.

The official said investigators were “95 percent certain it was an insider attack,” because the three men came from the Afghan side of the joint U.S.-Afghan base, and rammed an Afghan army Humvee through a checkpoint dividing the base, before jumping out and opening fire on the Americans with automatic weapons. All three attackers were killed.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

The Taliban said it was not behind the Tagab base attack, and has not yet weighed in on the attack in Khost, but the group claimed responsibility for the morning attack at the ministry shortly after it happened.

Pentagon spokesman George Little said Hagel was in a briefing at a U.S.-led military coalition facility in another part of the city when the explosion occurred. He said the briefing continued without interruption.

Azimi, the defense ministry spokesman, said the bomber on a bicycle struck just before 9 a.m. local time about 30 meters (yards) from the main gate of the ministry.

A man at the scene, Abdul Ghafoor, said the blast rocked the entire area.

“I saw dead bodies and wounded victims lying everywhere,” Ghafoor told the Associated Press. “Then random shooting started and we escaped from the area.”

The ministry said at least nine civilians were killed and others were wounded.

Reporters traveling with Hagel were in a briefing when they heard the explosion. They were moved to a lower floor of the same building as U.S. facilities in downtown Kabul were locked down as a security precaution.

It’s pretty sad to see so many of you wishing one of our leaders be killed by a suicide bomber. I’m no big fan of this guy, but I in know way wish he were killed. That’s sick. And if anyone missed it, Joel Rosenberg’s latest novel “Damascus Countdown” just came out. He is probably has the most knowledge of Islamic eschatology. Pay attention to what’s going on in the region. Things are unfolding fast. I would suggest praying for wisdom for out leaders, including the President, because our world could change forever in a moment and never be the same.

  Sham…..when the hello did diversity help?
  Chicago is diverse, and violent.
  England is diverse, and violent.
  The mid-east has various sub-sets of Islam, so, in that sense, is diverse…. but is mostly Muslim, AND violent!
  I’d say that Idaho, for a State without enough diversity, is pretty stable, with low crime rates.
  How about White Maine, or White Vermont?
  Wilmington, De, and Camden, NJ, have mostly blacks, and certainly are not diverse. They both have extremly high crime!
  How can a State without diversity be safe, while cities without diversity are violent?
  Just put a mixture of every ethnicity in every town. Is that your answer?

  @descendant. My point is, you have to live near, or in the belly of the beast to truly understand the culture of different American cities and towns. Most peoples prejudice and ignorance projected on the world is based on the experiences they’ve had in their own region. Having lived in the “belly of the beast” myself in nowhere California and NY state, I know for a fact that the Moozlims aren’t even as close to controlling our govt as the euro Jooz are. Just look at the names and background of ca and ny senators and congressmen to prove my point….

  Have you ever met a Jew? You probably couldn’t even define “Jew” without a dictionary. Besides, you actually believe Hagel getting appointed was a blow against Jews. Simple fact is that 11 out of 12 Jewish Senators voted to confirm him (the 12th declined to vote) and since Hagel only passed the Senate by 8 votes, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that if there really was a “Joo” conspiracy Hagel would have never been confirmed.

Moozlims as well;most black Muslims are unaware at how racist Islam has been toward Blacks in Africa etc. And the Muslims I have met that are Arab, definitely seem to be waiting to build up numbers for their attempt at Sharia USA in the next 100 years. You tzion need to stand up against the criminals in your religion, or you are just as guilty(just like Mooz who don’t address their radicals)

  @tzion. Hagel was harassed by the joo controlled senate and congress, but blocking his confirmation would have been an overtly and obvious PROOF of the Zionist influence. Hagel is on a short leash, but assuredly Hagel will be fighting the Iran war FOR Israel. His supposed anti semitism was for sure exaggerated in the first place.

  @kurt. Thanks for responding, and you are right. Your 70 years of age and your experience that you listed, do give credence to your perspective. My assumption of you only having lived in Idaho was wrong. my apologies. But I do think you are very misled as to who truly is in control of the US Govt branches. Mooslims are a threat, but the Fed Reseve, UN, IMF, CFR, AIPAC, and the Zionist homosexual media and hollywood is a bigger threat to the US culture and way of life right now.

Hispanic(1-Rubio), Asian(0), last I checked those 3 “minority” groups have a higher population in the US than euro Jooz. Why the massive over representation of the self described “minority” Jooz. Most euro Jooz claim to be just plain ol site people when it’s convenient, and then want to be “Semites” the next. Gimme a break…..

  @Patty. It’s the Mooz and Jooz working together to destroy Christianity. Look how Al Gore(crypto joo) sold Cuurent tv to Al Jazeera, look at Adam Gadahn who is really Jooish Adam Pearlman, look at Bush family(crypto joos named Scherff) who always hold hands and bow to the Saudi Moozlims and even had very close ties to the Taliban and Bin laden family starting in the 70′s and the immediate years before 9-11. Why would Anthony Weiner a euro joo, marry the daughter of a high ranking Moozlim brotherhood member? Why would Moozlim(suppose) Prez Obama totally surround himself with a euro Jooish beginning with Rahm Emmanuel, marry Michelle Obama who is of Ethiopian Jooish descent, Obama has an Israeli half brother,Obama was even called the “first Jooish prez” by a prominent Jewish mag after his election, Cristan Amanpour married to a Jooish man. I’m finding that behind every high profile Moozlim reporter or person, there is a Jooish connection. Even the guantanamo inmates are being helped by euro Jooish lawyers. Fact is, euro Jooz are playing both sides of the field. These same euro Jooz and Israelis at impersonating their euro Arab cousins as well(false flags, spying, assassinations etc.) You regular Christian Bert wake up before the only “2 parties” to choose from will be Moo or Joo, like Dem and Repub. Heaven can wait. wake up and help take back our nation from the infiltrators!!

  Or how about how every Mooslim country, has a euro Jooish American as ambassador? Or how about John Kerry in the past few years admitting that his paternal grandparents were both euro Jooish? That means that if Kerry/Lieberman had won in 2004, we would have had our first(admittedly) Jooish Prez and Vice Prez with Lieberman. Olympus has fallen; from within. And you so called Patriots are too yellow bellied to call a spade a spade. If you don’t open your eyes and mind, these homosexual hybrid capitalist/communists will succeed in turning our great nation into the Zionist States of America. And the Fed Chiefs will take their rightful place as the real “commander in chief” of the USA. You 38-80 year old American Christians are responsible for doing nothing( even turning a bind eye)while our country was stolen from within. Our founding fathers must be so proud of you cowards….

  The left always belly aches about civilian casualties of drone strikes.
  
  But they never have a problem with civilian casualties cause by their heroes, the Taliban or Al Qaeda.
  
  Bombing at Khost 1 policeman & 8 civilians (mostly children). Actually that is all civilians.
  
  Compare civilian collateral damage caused by the U.S. compared to our foes.
  
  http://www.longwarjournal.org/pakistan-strikes.php
  
  Also not that our foes purposefully kill civilian by targeting markets (souks/bazaars) & hospitals.
  
  Yet, the left unmercifully castigates us & give the Taliban & Al Qaeda a pass. That makes the left the witting or unwitting allies of Al Qaeda. One could draw the conclusion that they are domestic enemies.

  You are treasonous like the euro joo in the state or defense dept who you can bet your last dollar “leaked” Hagel’s trip to the enemy. Adam Gadahn, the so called”American Al Qaeda” who mysteriously still hasn’t been found; his real name is Adam Pearlman and his grandfather was an adl(whats adl?look it up)agent. You know that Muslim Brotherhood connected Muslim lady who was Hilary Clinton’s assistant at the state dept? Her husband is none other than former NY Congressman Anthony Weiner! You can’t get much more euro Jooish in looks or name than Mr Weiner, so the daughter of a prominent member of the joo hating Mooslim Brotherhood married a Weiner and had his child is VERY telling. Either Weiner is a secret Muslim or his wife Huma is a crypto joo. Or it is an arranged marriage(like many mooz/jooz do), but what is the benefit? As long as Egypt and Israel govts and upper class pretend to hate each other, and “the only thing holding us back from going to war w/each other is Billions of US dollars and weapons being fed us” is the big trick. I wonder how many “middle men” in Israel and Egypt get big profits from having some part of the the $ distribution from Uncle Sam. Obama gave lots of money to the Mooz Brohhod recently, but I’m pretty sure there are Jooish middle men and spies that track that money in Egypt. People don’t go into politics without an agenda. Mooz and Jooz benefit financially from their high profile drama while the rest of the world is pretty much igno

  You gotta wonder if in the spirit world if there are di-morphic differences between people who were formerly male or female on earth. Sure people live for eternity in the next world. Sure they are supposed to have a good time & everything is good. But who says there is sex, people in the afterlife are concerned with sex or they have equipment.
  
  Those virgins might not be weaker than the jihadis. There might be one HeII of a celestial slap down.
  
  Since the jihadis terrorize so many, they will be vastly out numbered. God might just sit back & watch as they get their “figurative” a$$es kicked before passing sentence & tossing them into HeII.

We shouldn’t even be there just send em home already,the Afghans are stuck in the seventh century and they’re going to stay there forever. We don’t get any oil from Afghanistan we only get body bags with Americans in them. The strategy was wrong from the beginning,we should’ve just killed Bin Laden and exit the country and be done with it. No we can’t do that we had to set up shop and try to civilize them and it’s never going to happen,we’ll leave someday just like every other country that tried to conquer them.

  Chuck Hagel was heard to exclaim: “Wow! Those drones are so effective over here! What? Suicide bombs? Yeah. ok. Yeah. good. Print it that way. Nice cover story.”

  I am coming to the opinion that there’s nothing we can do. However long we stay, the Taliban will retake the country within months after we leave. So i agree – the troops home. It’s a waste of precious lives.

  Here is how this crap works: Obama gives Karzai and his phony government “billions” so our “troops” can stay in the country and “peace keeping” and “nation building” and blah, blah, blah. But basically our boys are just COPS and OBAMA pays for them with YOUR tax dollars and MY tax dollars. Once we leave Afghanistan will be the MECCA of all jihadists. They will FLOOD into that country like a swarm of locusts. WE will have spent BILLIONS making Karzai and his cronies rich. We did it in Iraq too. These people DON”T want us in their countries. They LOVE Jihad. IT is the BASIS of their Religion. They will kill each other. The Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims kill each other. Constantly. Madass Hussein in Iraq (Sunni) bombed a Southern Town in Iraq (Shia) when they reportedly helped US Troops in Desert Storm Campaign in 1990s under George H Bush who was the President. Then his little “boy” George W Bush “finished” the Iraqi “campaign” for his “daddy” when he was President. During the 1980s Iraq (Sunni) and Iran (Shia) fought each other. A million people died. They love to kill each other. And anybody else.

  @HONOR007 – bring them home indeed. Our troops should not be fighting at all when they don’t have a commander in chief – and they sure as heck do NOT have a commander in chief!

The world respects USA. The world fears USA. The war on terror was a win for USA.
If any one of those were true – we’d have a different POTUS.

I was always taught that imitation was the sincerest form of flattery. Apparently, I was taught wrong. Blowing oneself up near an American is the sincerest form of flattery. Maybe CAIR can rebrand and market jihad again for next Valentines Day. Forget the expensive chocolates and cards…blow yourself up for your sweetheart…what’s your jihad?

Chuckles does not know that the US is not a democracy. He and his Master are very stupid and they think they rule stupid people.

  Unfortunately their stupid subjects confirm their Lord of Flies master’s judgement daily.

Why does he and his Master want to spread democracy? They are using the US citizens’ money to do this.
Leave Ratastand alone. These backwards religious zealots want what they want, so leave them alone. It is not for me to pay to get religion out of these peoples’ minds. You can’t stop religious zealots with bombs and tanks. I would be like Ron Paul, who believes in bringing our troops home to keep us safe here at home.

  They don’t want to spread democracy. Hagel was hired to pull the plug on Afghanistan as quickly and cheaply as possible. Same orders some Soviet general got back in the 80′s.

  Hagel was sent to Afghanistan s a request of karzai, to inforce an assault weapons ban on U.S. troops.
  Just watch our casualties soar.

Does he even know where he is? He sure didn’t seem to at his confirmation hearing.
