Three killed in Afghan truck convoy attack

[dArKeR]

Suspected Taliban gunmen ambushed a convoy of civilian trucks carrying vehicles to the US military in southern Afghanistan, killing three of the drivers, an official said yesterday.

The attack came amid a wave of bombings, shootings and mine blasts which have killed or injured several Afghan and US soldiers in recent weeks. Violence had dropped sharply during the harsh Afghan winter.

"This shows that some in the Taliban or other anti-government insurgents will continue to try to destabilize Afghanistan through violent acts," US spokeswoman Lieutenant Cindy Moore said. "There is still a threat out there."

3. I hadn't known the Afghanistan stat existed on that site

Thanks!

I wonder how many hits that site averages a day. I'll have to send them a few more $. It's not like we can find those breakdowns in what some Americans refer to as the US mainstream media.

4. No, the MSM won't report those figures

In fact, for reality, the World Wires are the only truthful outlet for general news without bias. U S media may or may not report news.
