[POed_Ex_Repub]

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - A powerful car bomb exploded Friday as a convoy of U.S. military vehicles passed by, seriously wounding at least four American soldiers and raining debris over a wide area, police officials said.

A policeman at the scene, Tor Jan, and several witnesses told The Associated Press that two of the soldiers had died. Gen. Salim Khan, deputy police chief of Kandahar province, would not confirm that account.

"When our forces reached the scene of the explosion, they saw four American soldiers lying on the road covered in blood. They were seriously wounded," Khan said. "I do not know if any of them died."

1. We really don't know how bad the Afghanistan sitaution is

The casualty rate there is lower so the media leads us all on to assume that things are just going swimmingly in Afghanistan.
