 Mon May 29, 2006 10:56 am 8 killed in Afghan rioting |

| Quote: | KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- A deadly traffic accident Monday involving U.S. troops sparked the worst riot in the Afghan capital since the fall of the Taliban. At least eight people were killed and 107 injured, an official said.
Hundreds of Afghan army troops and NATO peacekeepers in tanks deployed around the city, as protesters chanting "Death to America" marched on the presidential palace and rioters smashed police guard boxes and set fire to police cars.

The numbers change from news service to news service. One says 1 dead, 3 injured. Another says 3 dead, 60 injured. And then we have CNN.

At this time Fox says 8 killed as well, so that seems to be the right number. 'Tis sad, though.

Mmm, they are also saying they don't know if the death/injury totals are from the accident itself, or if the number is all inclusive. (rioting and accident)
That was just completely bad luck for the US. A vehicle has a mechanical problem, it happens. The results were tragic, but I honestly don't see that this should be the end result.
