-- KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN -- A suicide car bomber lying in wait for a passing military convoy killed eight civilians and wounded 22 others Thursday when he blew himself up at the edge of a crowded row of shops.The fact that most of these attacks end up maiming and killing mostly civilians hasn't escaped the average Mo' either.
Taliban militants regularly launch suicide bombings against Afghan and foreign troops in the country, but most of the victims in such attacks have been civilians.That's some "Religion of Peace."
"I am extremely sorry for them. My request to the Taliban is to stop these suicide attacks because it is a loss for Afghan people."
More than 8,000 people were killed in insurgency-related violence in 2007, the UN says.
