*south africans killed by a female from islam* by jaQui2012/09/19 18:59 Eight South Africans
were among those
killed Tuesday in a
suicide blast in
Afghanistan's capital.
An Afghan insurgent
group says the attack
on a mini-bus carrying
foreigners was in
response to an anti-
Islam on-line video that
has sparked worldwide
protests. But South
African officials and a
Muslim analyst say the
attacks were probably
not aimed at South
Africans.
The bomb ripped
through the van near
Kabul’s airport on
Tuesday morning,
killing at least 12
people including the
eight South Africans.
The Afghan insurgent
group Hezb-e-Islami
claimed responsibility
for the attack, saying it
sent a female bomber
in response to the anti-
Islam video that has set
off protests all over the
world, including in
Afghanistan.
The protests are
directed against the
American-made film
called â€Innocence of
Muslims†that mocks
Islam’s Prophet
Mohammed.
