KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A suicide bomber struck a convoy of the NATO-led security force in the capital Tuesday, killing a Canadian soldier and an Afghan civilian.

The attack also wounded three Canadian troops and eight civilians, officials said.<snip>

In June, a suicide attack on a bus killed four German soldiers and wounded 29 wounded in one of the most serious post-Taliban attacks in the capital.

Another apparent suicide bomber killed four Afghan intelligence agents and their driver on Dec. 28 after they arrested him near Kabul's airport.

A mine explosion killed two Canadian troops in October.

1. Sad, scary and ugly

How many suicide bombers are there? There seems to be a steady stream. If they are that dedicated to take out only a few of us at a time, can they sustain this? It's one thing to snipe and retreat, but one-way missions almost daily?

This is a very ugly war going on. Do Americans really realize this?

2. Now that our soldiers are being killed

Will the freepers like us better? Or does it only count if they die in Iraq?
