KABUL, Afghanistan: Suicide car bomb explodes 300 yards outside US Embassy

Hmm pretty tight timing. Sounds more planned than a copycat - perhaps?

I hope we don't see anything in Europe during the night.

What is the time lapse between the 2 attacks?

The more I hear about this the more the timing relative to the India attacks sounds coincidental.

In this attack, it seems the weak point was the changed security due to the holiday and special activities, and the exact timing of the Toyota detonation indicates they knew, somehow, the exact target they wanted to hit.

Seems like a pre-planned opportunity-strike, not a coordinated 'cascade' or 'tag-on' type action.

The news from Kabul started coming out about an hour ago.
So around ten/twelve hours I guess.

Ian, I'm beginning to think you are correct.

Initial reports said that four civilians died in the attack, which coincides with a fact-finding visit to Afghanistan from a delegation of the United Nations Security Council.

cont...

The Afghan capital has been on a heightened state of alert for the past two days with the United Nations Security Council visiting the city. Overnight security sources reported that at least one rocket fell on the city.

If my mind served me correctly wasnt there also some very recent talks with India about its missle program as well?..This could be an opening salvo against the US..
