"The gruesome incident happened in the bazaar of provincial capital Trinkot at around 03:00 p.m. local time as a result seven people including six children were martyred on the spot," police spokesman in Trinkot city Mohammad Farid Aael told Xinhua. Four more children sustained injuries in the deadly incident, he added. The explosive device was planted inside a garbage bucket along a road in Trinkot bazaar, he said, adding the insurgents apparantly wanted to target security forces but it exploded claiming seven lives including six children.
#3: An Italian soldier in Afghanistan was injured Friday when a bomb exploded nearby, Italian military sources said. The soldier, whose injuries are not life-threatening, was on foot patrol when he was struck by the blast in the western part of the country, according to commanders from the Italian contingent of the NATO mission. The bomb was the second in three days to injure an Italian soldier in western Afghanistan. A private was hurt Wednesday when an IED (roadside bomb) went off as his convoy drove past in the district of Gulistan, where Italian troops are stationed.

Fallujah Babies
"We have all kinds of defects now, ranging from congenital heart disease to severe physical abnormalities, both in numbers you cannot imagine," Alani told Al Jazeera at her office in the hospital, while showing countless photos of shocking birth defects.
As of December 21, Alani, who has worked at the hospital since 1997, told Al Jazeera she had personally logged 677 cases of birth defects since October 2009. Just eight days later when Al Jazeera visited the city on December 29, that number had already risen to 699.
"There are not even medical terms to describe some of these conditions because we've never seen them until now," she said. "So when I describe it all I can do is describe the physical defects, but I'm unable to provide a medical term."
Most of these babies in Fallujah die within 20 to 30 minutes after being born, but not all.
++++++++++++++
I can think of nothing more EVIL than taking away a community's right to have healthy children. Things are so bad in Fallujah, that OB doctors are telling people to NOT HAVE CHILDREN AT ALL.
