More Trouble In the Middle East

This article was written by Richard Oppel Jr., Abdul Waffa and Sangar Rahimi of the New York Times, they wrote about an attack that just happen this past week in Afghanistan.

On Wednesday, Taliban suicide bombers and gunman put together a very complex and well coordinated attack against government buildings in Afghanistan. The attack that killed about twenty people and wounded fifty-seven more and showed how easy Taliban forces could penetrate the heavily guarded buildings in Afghanistan's capitol. All eight of the bombers and gunman were killed in the struggle, but the U.S military say's that they didn't do a good enough job of tracking ten's of thousands of weapons they brought to the Afgan forces, leaving the idea that they might have been stolen or sold to Taliban Forces.
