Threat from Taliban

They're aiming at the home front.

...a Taliban spokesman vowed to step up attacks against Canadian and other NATO forces in Afghanistan.

"We will increase the attacks against NATO, Canadians and other foreign supporters in the south (of Afghanistan)," Qari Yousaf Ahmadi said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

The threat comes after four Canadians died and 10 were injured in intense fighting on Thursday with Taliban insurgents.

More suicide attackers from across the war-torn country have converged in the south to carry out strikes against non-Muslims, Ahmadi said.

"We have got more suicide attackers, so of course suicide attacks will be
increased."..
