A roadside bomb smashed and blew up passenger bus on highway southern city of Kandahar in Afghanistan. Zalmai Ayoubi spokesperson of provincial government said it killed not less than 12 civilians counting women and children.

Homemade weapon are becoming the dangerous weapon used by insurgents for fighting and  attacking western and Afghan government forces and military, however there is an assumption that Taliban insurgents has planted the bomb because a similar blast happened in Maywand district killing three civilians. During such attack, civilians are killed more than troops. Wounded has been taken to military camp for medications. Around 1,500 civilians are killed by such attack in Afghanistan this year however 68 percent of civilians killing happens due to militant attack and 28 percent are killed by Afghan, US military and foreign troops led by NATO. At present there are 100,000 foreign soldiers in Afghanistan from that more than 60,000 are Americans. Military commander Gen Stanley Mc Chrystal has urged for more soldiers however US administration including Barack Obama need to decide and review the strategy. Increasing military victims lead to destabilized public support for this operation in some Western countries. Even European nation are waiting for US to take initiative of sending and increasing the troops.
