A coupla heros

A coupla hero stories from yesterday's security briefing ...

Suspected Suicide Bomber Arrested:
Khost Province, Mando Zayi District ...
Police arrested a potential suicide bomber in possession of explosives and an “explosive vest”. Apparently the would-be bomber’s farther called the police when he realised what his son was preparing to do.

Peaceful Demonstration:
Bamyan Province, Bamyan Center ...
A peaceful demonstration in support of the lady governor of the province took place in the provincial centre; demonstrators dispersed after lodging their petition at a UN office.


Sadly, the big picture looks less rosy - experts now draw the Taliban line of control right thru the middle of the country ...
