The Washington Post is reporting .....
Suicide bomber attacks CIA base in Afghanistan, killing at least 8 Americans
I must go out to attend an appointment and cannot stick around to update this or respond to any comments, but I just thought this news should be posted.
I will delete this diary later as no doubt others with more substance will follow. No one else posted on this subject so I will leave this up for the record. ko 2010.01.01
No need to tip me.
Sincere regrets to the famillies of those affected.
I hope this war can end soonist.

Update 1 : OK, I'm off to meet friends and just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
Dispite the bad news and the gloom and doom of the past year, life is precious and we need to make the best of it so please do that in 2010.
New Year, New Decade, New Start.
Peace.

Update 2 : As Mikecan1978 and peterborocanuck have noted below in comments, 5 Canadians were also killed in Kandahar, Afghanistan Dec 30 when a armorded vehicle they were riding in was struck by an IED.
It's possible these attacks were in response to the alleged killing of 8 school children by coalition forces as noted by Marcion.
Accordingly, I have updated the title.
Again, condolances to the famillies of all of these persons, I'm hoping 2010 brings our troubled world a fresh start and that this war ends soon. it's already gone too long at too great a cost.
Peace
