The spring offensive in Afghanistan announced a few days ago by Mullah Omar has started. The connection with the raid that led to the killing of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan may be just a coincidence, but the feeling that the guerrillas have refused to send a message to Western governments and the government of Hamid Karzai is very strong.
The attack that paralyzed in a big way on Saturday and Sunday the city of Kandahar, the main center of the south, was followed on Monday morning by a new assault, this time in the province of Ghazni, in the district of Deh Yak. At least six Afghan policemen were killed and four seriously wounded when a column of vehicles was blocked by an explosion on the road and the concomitant small arms fire.
