13 of our people and an additional 180 killed. An enormous explosion plus whatever shrapnel they packed on it. There is no way that that bomb load got by Taliban checkpoints without the Taliban knowing exactly what was going to happen.
And the same warning that happened before this attack is being repeated now.

You are SO right! Unfortunately it very sad.
So much for taliban security.
No news on the wounded, it must be bad!
