After the attack in Afghanistan

After the attack in Afghanistan.
Residents of Kabul are not strangers to violence. But every time a large bomb goes off or militants wreak havoc, they wonder if Afghanistan will find peace.
On Saturday a suicide car bomber killed at least 17 people, including 13 American soldiers when the car rammed into a convoy passing through the capital.
It was the deadliest single ground attack against the coalition in 10 years of war in Afghanistan.
Mohammad Haleem is a resident of Kabul.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
Saturday's killings came less than two months after insurgents launched a 20-hour assault on the U.S. Embassy in the capital.
Violence across Afghanistan is at its worst since the start of the war 10 years ago, according to the United Nations, despite the presence of more than 130,000 foreign troops.
