-- KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- Military investigators in Afghanistan have determined the deadly blast that killed three Afghan children was caused by an improvised explosive, likely belonging to the Taliban.I imagine Dawg and Stoogeleft and company... are all muttering under their breath about "that gawddamned forensic science."
Brig.-Gen. Jon Vance, the commander of Canadian troops, said the explosive did not belong to his soldiers, who held a range practice in the area the day before the tragedy.
The children likely found the device in a field while on the way home from school and brought it into the village, where it detonated as they stood on a gravel pathway.Sorry, folks... you'd better go scream at your Taliban brothers.
Grief-stricken villagers paraded in the streets of Kandahar after the blast, displaying the shattered bodies of two of the victims and crying for vengeance against Canada.
'Cos this one ain't on us.

"They know if it were the Canadian soldiers, they would get a shit load of money, so of course they are going to blame them."*
"No sense blaming their brethren, the Taliban. The only thing that will get them is a bullet between the eyes."
