II. On thursday, there was a suicide bombing attempting to kill U.S soldiers near the capital's airport. The suicide bombing killed eight Afghan civilians and wounded thirty five civilians. However, the four soldiers in the car only had cuts and bruises. There has been a threat from Taliban Islamist militants saying that they will step up the suicidal bombings in order to make the NATO countries withdraw the troups from Afghanistan. Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said that this summer is going to be the bloodiest. NATO is having troubles coming up with alliances to help them in Afghanistan. European alliances don't want to send their troups to Afghanistan. A motion is expecting to be passed by Canadian parliament. It going to extend the mission of it's 2,500 troups in Afghanistan untill 2011, but only if NATO allies come up with 1,000 more soldiers.

III.
A)This article relates to the AP world theme, "Impact of interaction among and within major societies." The deaths of these innocent people is caused by all the fighting in Afghanistan.
B)U.S troups have been in war with Afghanistan since 2001 untill the present. Our troups went in there because of the attack on September 11th. The invasion was in order to capture Osama bin Laden, destroy al-Qaeda, and to remove the Taliba regime.
C)The author of this article is most likely Muslim, since he is from Kabul.
D)The article shows some caution while your reading it. The author is muslim, which means he is bias due to his background.
E)In order to gain a full understanding, it would be best to hear the point of view from an American. This will help, because an American might tell about how the government is dealing with all of this.
F)I think that all of these suicide bombings is horrible. It shouldn't be happening and the suicide bombers shouldn't be killing innocent citizens, or the soldiers. This war should come to an end soon, because many innocent people are being killed and it's just been going on for way to long.
