    Afghan security guard kills 3 US doctors!

    Aight, enuff is enuff! When will we realize that you can't trust them people!!!!



    The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan confirmed Thursday that three American doctors - including a reported father and son - were killed by an Afghan security guard who opened fire at a Kabul hospital.

    The shooting at Cure International Hospital in the western part of the Afghan capital was the latest attack on foreign civilians in the city this year. Two others, including an American nurse, were wounded, according to Afghanistan's Health Ministry.










    "With great sadness we confirm that three Americans were killed in the attack at CURE Hospital," said a statement posted on the Embassy's Twitter page. "No other information will be released at this time."

    Afghanistan Minister of Health Soraya Dalil told the Associated Press that two of the dead were a visiting father and son. Dalil added that the other victim was a Cure International doctor who had worked for seven years in Kabul.

    The attacker was a member of the Afghan Police Protection Force assigned to guard the hospital, said District Police Chief Hafiz Khan, who added that the man's motive was not yet clear.

    The attacker was wounded and in custody. The attacker had emerged from surgery Thursday afternoon and was in recovery at the hospital before being questioned, Dalil added.

    "Five doctors had entered the compound of the hospital and were walking toward the building when the guard opened fire on them," Torkystani said. "Three foreign doctors were killed and two other doctors were wounded." It not immediately known how the attacker was wounded.

    According to its website, the Cure International Hospital was founded in 2005 by invitation of the Afghan Ministry of Health. It sees 37,000 patients a year, specializing in child and maternity health as well as general surgery. It is affiliated with the Christian charity Cure International, which operates in 29 countries with the motto "curing the sick and proclaiming the kingdom of God."

    It was unclear whether the Taliban were behind Thursday's shooting, though the insurgents have claimed several major attacks that killed foreign civilians this year, an escalation after years of mostly targeting foreign military personnel and Afghan security forces.

    In January, a Taliban attack on a popular Kabul restaurant with suicide bombers and gunmen killed more than a dozen people, while in March gunmen slipped past security at an upscale hotel in the Afghan capital and killed several diners in its restaurant.

    The hospital shooting is also the second "insider attack" by a member of Afghan security forces targeting foreign civilians this month.

    On April 4, an Afghan police officer shot two Associated Press staff working in the eastern province of Khost, killing photographer Anja Niedringhaus and wounding veteran correspondent Kathy Gannon.

    These attacks have occured way too much. We have given them too much money already. Their country is corrupt and they will never give thanks to us. We need to stop helping them. Stop all aid to this stupid backwoods country.

            Really sobering, plus the fact they are civilians attempting to assist in a war torn region. Prayers for their families as I am sure there greatest fears were just realized!

                No sense in continuing this exercise, or policing as they called it in Viet Nam where they wouldn't let them do the job right either.

                      Motive was unclear?
                      Pretty freaking clear to anyone with half an ounce of common sense.

                      Probably going to label this work place violence as well...

                      Prayers to the Doctors families..

                        I've not been deployed there, but my brother and friends have said there are great people in that country, but there's no way to tell who is friend or foe. The enemy blends in, infiltrates and therefor you can't trust any of them. Farmer by day, fighter by night scenario just like vietnam.

                        Prayers to the doctors and families.

                          Did not see this original post until after I also started a thread on this. I AM SO HAPPY MY SON finished his deployment there! We need to GET out and quit the "news releases" about how many are left, when they are leaving, etc.....! IMO this is a "blood bath" ready to explode once more!

                              Your a soldier, it is Christian like to want to stomp mud holes in POS heathens that kill innocent people who are bound to help others in need. It's honorable to wipe these POS out and it's OK to feel good in fighting the good fight, as long as the heart and mind are tied to all things good - through Christ.

                              The battle between Good and Evil is here on earth. It's here so those who believe, are tested in faith to believe. Giving in and or allowing them to continue to kill those who are helping those in need, without taking a stand, IT'S OK to blow them straight to hell! That's who's pulling their strings anyway (Hell) putting yourself between HELL and the WEAK - IT'S AN HONOR!

                              Someone has to do it! We can't let Evil go unpunished and unrestricted.

                              A doctor, a nun, a priest....any of these people who serve the needs of all, they need to be protected and it's the warriors charged to do that job! It's natural to want to STOMP MUDHOLES IN THESE POS - AMEN!
