Kabul: A suicide attacker struck a memorial service being held in a mosque for the assassinated half-brother of Afghanistan's president in the restive southern city of Kandahar on Thursday, officials said.

Interior ministry spokesman Siddiq Siddiqi confirmed there had been a suicide bombing and that there were casualties, but said there was no further information as yet.

A member of Kandahar provincial council who was attending the prayers being held in memory of the president's brother Ahmed Wali Karzai said, "It was a suicide bombing. It was inside the mosque. I saw one dead and four injured in there. The service was about the end when it happened."

1. And we're in that country why?
Destroyed the British Empire.
Bankrupted the Soviet Union (Reagan didn't do it).

Now it's our turn.

2. Pepsico, the USSC & capitalism (greed and envy, actually) did more to
