Suicide Bomber Kills 40 in Kandahar
-----------------------------------



In Afghanistan, at least forty people have died after a suicide bomber
attacked a wedding party in Kandahar province. Dozens of people were
wounded in the blast. Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s former head of
intelligence services says President Hamid Karzai has lost faith in the
US strategy in Afghanistan and is increasingly looking to Pakistan to
end the Taliban insurgency. The Guardian newspaper reports Amrullah
Saleh believes Karzai lost confidence some time ago in the ability of
NATO forces to defeat the Taliban. Saleh resigned from his post last
week.
