NEFA Foundation: Video of Suicide Bombing in Khost in Southeastern Afghanistan
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation has obtained a newly-released video recording of a November 20, 2008 suicide truck bombing attack on a joint-U.S.-Afghan military base in the southeastern Afghan province of Khost. The video shows footage of the bomber—identified as "Qari Abu Omar", a "patient man with experience in jihad" -as he assists in the preparation of nearly 3,000kg of explosives, his farewell to the camera, and the subsequent blast itself.
Excerpts from the video can be viewed on the NEFA Foundation website.
