Suicide Bomber Kills 40

This morning as Afghan worshipers gather for prayer for a Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha, a suicide bomber enters the mosque and kills 40 people. Included in the 40 people killed was also the suicide bomber. There was also about 40 people that were wounded from the bombing. Authorities are pointing the finger at the Taliban as to blame but a Taliban spokesman is investigating the situation to find out who is to blame. It is reported that almost have of the victims that were killed were police officers.  The Taliban is a militant movement group that has been trying to take over Afghanistan since 1996. This group has also been the blame for the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centers and Pentagon in the United States causing American to go to war to dethrone the group and regain order in the Middle East. The president of Afghanistan has made many proposals for the group to stop their terrorist ways and join the Afghanistan government. The US has also made peace negotiations with the Taliban, as American troops are soon to come out of the region in the coming years. The violence in this area seems to be intensifying and looks as though the Taliban have no end insight. US troops have been helping the Afghanistan government in fighting back against this group but with most of the troops gone it seems that the tension is growing. I don’t think our troops should be there any longer because of soldiers are dying as a result of their war and issues but the Afghanistan government does need some kind of assistant with this terror group or else they will take over Afghanistan.
