Kandahar, Afghanistan - Afghan police have arrested a man who was allegedly preparing to throw a bomb at the passing convoy of President Hamid Karzai, security officials in the city of Kandahar said on Sunday.

"A suspect was arrested with a hand-bomb this morning in Shekar Tur bazaar, close to a road which was to be used by the presidential convoy a few minutes later," provincial military spokesperson Abdul Ali told AFP.

"The individual was hiding behind a house close to the road. He was probably waiting for information from his accomplices on the coming of the convoy," he added.

I bet Karzai never sees daylight.

1. How many attempts has he survived?

It seems like he is always under attack.

Is he still being guarded by American troops?

4. He lives in a fortress..

and never leaves it. Shows how much control he has of the Afghani's.

2. He's the mayor of Kabul

Because we took our troops out of Afghanistan to fight Iraq, Karzai has no control of his country. Thus, he is the mayor of Kabul, the only part of the country he has any power in.

3. These guys really seem to love US installed puppets.

And his accomplices were probably IN the convoy.
