Just when you thought it was safe...

KABOOM!

Last month we were headed out on a routine convoy. Agverage tasks, average day. Nothing seemed out of place, and no one had any sort of "funny feeling" about the day. Just as the convoy headed into town...






This is the aftermath of a suicide car bomb that hit the convoy.



Below you can see what's left of the car...



I'm sure you can guess who claimed responsibility for this awesome display of stupidity. That's obvious. On the other hand, what was the human cost? Let's see- two young children later died from the severe burns they recieved. A local innocent bystander was blown up. And the suicide car bomb driver... well, he doesn't have to worry about the skyrocketing cost of gas anymore.

Oh yeah- the humvee that got hit. It got a flat tire, and the gunner got a smashed fingernail that later fell off. Great job, Taliban. You really taught US a lesson!
