At least 80 people have been killed in a suicide bombing in the Afghan city of Kandahar - in what appears to be the deadliest attack since 2001.

The blast hit a crowd of people watching a dog-fighting competition.

"Sixty of the martyrs were brought to hospitals and 20 more dead bodies were taken from the site," Governor Assadullah Khalid told reporters.

I guess BBC supports dog fighting over there so they won't bring it over here. What a fucking mess.

1. It is unfortunate OUR TROOPS are fighting and defending this kind of SHT.

The ONLY martyrs are the poor GD dogs.

2. For this our troops are over there?

So dogfighting can go on without interuption?

Give me a break.

3. Dog-Fighting - Sure not shedding a tear over these victims

Dirty little secret is how the Bushies ignore the poppy crops propping up these tribal leaders.

4. A better question given the Iran-Contra history

is what are those poppy crops funding?

8. Believe me they don't ignore the poppies

Much of the funding for the GOP comes from such sources..Our troops are there to protect the poppies not hamper the growing of them...Why do you think since the American invasion opium sales have skyrocketed?

5. Err - BBC supporting dog-fighting??

WTF are you taking about? Since when does the BBC make the laws in the countries it covers?
Were you <trying> to be sarcastic?

6. "But on the bright side, there's a bumper poppy crop" - Commander AWOL

"That's right my fellow Homelanders (Smirk), since I ordered the invasion of Afghanistan the poppy-opium-heroin production and profits in Afghanistan have skyrocketed (smirk), almost as much as the profit margin for my republicon-homelander oil & munitions cronies (smirk, smirk, smirk)"

7. irregardless of what they were engaged in the fact that 80 people died is sad

I wonder how much of our having to do with destablizing the whole region is responsible for this.
