 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - The three armored Chevrolet Suburbans from the U.S. Embassy caught my eye Monday morning alongside the donkey carts and rundown Toyotas that compete for space on the muddy, bumpy highway that heads east out of Afghanistan's capital.
"You should never get too close to those vehicles," I cautioned my driver as we waited at an intersection to let them pass while on our way to run errands.
Moments later, a fireball ripped through the convoy, wounding five U.S. Embassy security guards and killing a 15-year-old Afghan bystander — the first Taliban suicide bombing in Kabul this year.
