A suicide bomber blew himself up in an upscale Kabul supermarket which caters to wealthy westerners. He killed 8 people, including a child, and wounded others.
The Taliban acknowledged taking this action and claimed they
were striking at the U.S. security firm Blackwater, trying to kill a senior official. Blackwater is despised throughout the Arab world for its brutal treatment of non-combatants in Iraq and Afghanistan.
After over 10 years of war, the U.S. and its allies, all foreign powers widely viewed as occupiers, are in charge of security throughout Afghanistan, with Afghan forces taking responsibility for Kabul, its capitol as this war continues its death and destruction with no end in sight.
