Afghanistan<br />
Deadly assault in Kabul 'troubling'<br />
Agence France Presse, 2/11/09<br />
A wave of deadly attacks on government offices in the Afghan capital are "troubling" and the<br />
latest sign of a Taliban bid to undermine the Kabul government, a Pentagon spokesman said<br />
on Wednesday.<br />
"These attacks were somewhat bold and brazen and troubling," Bryan Whitman told<br />
reporters.<br />
He said the US military would be "taking a look at these type of activities for any patterns."<br />
The coordinated suicide bomb and gun attacks on three Afghan government buildings on<br />
Wednesday killed at least 26 people and wounded 55 others in violence that spread panic<br />
across the city.<br />
"I'm sure the Afghan government will be taking a look at all aspects of this attack to find out<br />
why it was as successful as it was," he said.<br />
"It was clearly a tragic series of attacks that took place."<br />
He said that "terrorists have the advantage when you have people willing to kill themselves."
