A suicide bomber struck at a lunch gathering of Afghan police and local civilians in southeast Afghanistan on Saturday killing at least 13 people, three of them policemen, officials said.

The attacker, wearing a suicide vest, walked into a police checkpost in the troubled district of Alisher in Khost province and detonated himself, a statement issued by the provincial governor's office said.

It is a sad situation in Afghanistan but unfortunately a situation that will never change. It is well known that this area has historically remained the same from ancient times and it is a waste of life having outside troops die in a country that will quickly revert to it's former status once those troops have left.
Only the people of Afghanistan cam make a difference in the future of their country and as long as they allow organizations like the Taliban to rule their lives there will be no positive changes.
I feel compassion for the people who suffer from this situation but they need to stand and fight for their own or be forever condemned to live the life they now abhor.
