The afghan president Hamid Karzai was almost killed today as the taliban guerrillas rired rockets at the building where he was giving a speech.the rockets narrowly missed the building and naturally on hearing the bomb blasts the crowd panicked and almost fled.but Karzai,being who he is managed to calm down the crowd and went ahead to give his speech.
The talibans are being more active than usual in afghanistan and the fingers are being pointed at pakistan for fomenting trouble in afghanistan.today at Ghazni,the taliban made a bold attack on the president but failed.with such attacks getting more and more frequent,how long would it be before the current government of Hamid Karzai falls and the taliban take over.these are indeed disturbing times for Afghanistan.
