U.N. Workers Killed by Afghan Mob
 

KABUL, Afghanistan — Thousands of demonstrators angered over the burning of a Koran in Florida mobbed offices of the United Nations in northern Afghanistan on Friday, overrunning the compound and killing at least seven foreign staff workers, according to Afghan officials.

There were conflicting reports on the total number of people killed and whether two of the victims had been beheaded. Five Afghans were also reported killed. The incident began when thousands of protesters poured out of the Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif after Friday prayers and attacked the nearby headquarters of the United Nations, according to Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, spokesman for Gen. Daoud Daoud, the Afghan National Police commander for northern Afghanistan.

After disarming or shooting the United Nations compound’s guards, the crowd surged inside. Mr. Ahmadzai said that eight of the foreign staff workers, whose nationalities were not known immediately, were killed by gunfire, and that two others were captured by the mob and beheaded. Other reports said that the operations center was burned down as well.

The governor of Balkh Province, Atta Mohammad Noor, said that seven United Nations employees were killed in all, five Nepali security guards and two European international staff, one of them a woman. He said earlier reports of beheadings were unfounded; all of the victims were shot.

How many civilians have been killed by president Obama's kinetic exercise?

But that does not belong to the topic of this thread

You are correct of coarse. But let us begin counting. If military action is judged on deaths....let us go.

They left the mosque and attacked. What was said during morning prayers to fire up this mob?

Take a page out of Israels play book and have F-16's bomb the mosque when they have their next morning prayer.

False flag instead
"terrorists" bombed the mosque

How many have been killed by crazed scientologists mad at South Park? How about crazed Mormons mad at South Park? Ages ago Catholics were POed by "The Last Temptation of Christ," as I recall... any murders? How about art like the cross in a jar of piss, or the Virgin Mary made as a collage of porno-mag crotch shots? Nope, no murders there, either. heck, when I was at the U I got handed Gideon bibles by guys, and I tore one in half and dropped it in the trash in front of the guy (was on my way to coffee, musta been dazed to even take it when he pushed it into my hand). Oddly, the guy didn't immediately murder me.

What is different in this Afghan case?

Any idea?

LOL.

Hey. I'm Roman Catholic, why offend me? Are you some Euro trash so often seen @ Subsim?

Seems to me, the Muslim world has a hard on for killing whatever it is they don't like. I'll wager the two most commonly used words are : "Death to (and then insert whatever it is they're pissed off about here)". Well, aside from Allah Akbar. So i guess that's four of their most commonly used words.

There is enough oil in and around the US to claim or defend to say to the Arabs to take a leap. The US just has to have someone in officie to tell the enviros to eat it.

An oil exporter we can be. Think what exporting/exploiting oil can do for our deficit. Not to mention our standard of living.

Well obiviously they haven't played cowboy and muslim yet.

Unnecessary. :down:

I'm more amused that the turd man can dish it, but not take it. :haha:

For a troll, he certainly has a real glass jaw. Still, I'll never understand his hatred for our European members. What did they do, bash his mailbox in?

got the Cali/Penn trash attention I see. Us fly over feed the coasts folks just love ya....:D

Why the lack of humor?
