A Pakistani suicide bomber detonated himself in a crowded restaurant Sunday, killing 15 people and wounding 24, including an Afghan special forces commander and a district chief, the provincial governor said.

The restaurant, located in the southeastern province of Paktika, was destroyed, said Gov. Mohammad Akram Akhpelwak. The attacker was believed to be targeting the military commander and the district chief, he said.

The suicide strike was the 102nd in Afghanistan this year, attacks that have killed 241 people, said Maj. Luke Knittig, a spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force

Akhpelwak said the suicide bomber was from Pakistan, but he gave no further details. Afghan officials say the majority of suicide bombers there come from neighboring Pakistan.

2. Can you tell the difference between a brit and say a New Yorker?

I imagine you could, as I imagine locals can tell the difference between a Pakistani and an Afghan.

5. LOL

He did have snazzy outfits.

This is more indication of how fucked up Afghanistan is, but considering how much WORSE Iraq is, we don't see much news of Afghanistan.
