An enormous bomb ripped through a police academy bus at Kabul's busiest transportation hub Sunday, killing at least 35 people in the deadliest insurgent attack in Afghanistan since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. The Taliban claimed responsibility.Stil waiting to hear my from my friends.
The thunderous explosion _ which sheared the metal sidings and roof off the bus, leaving only a charred skeleton _ represented a leap in scale from previous Taliban or al-Qaida bombings here, raising the specter of an increase in Iraq-style attacks in Afghanistan.

Our prayers are with your friends.
Well, I'm okay. And I heard from one of your cousins last night, so he's okay.
This just so totally sucks. The NYT's updated article this morning (Kabul's Monday morning) made me cry-- very moving,
Thank you. Everyone is fine. One friend was supposed to be there but her meeting was delayed.
This last week's news out of AFG has been heartwrenching... I am selfishly glad that you aren't there right now.
Sigh, I feel like I could cry here in my lovely hotel room in Bangkok. But instead I guess I'll get back to the business of doing my little bit. Well, maybe I'll cry as well.
