If you watched any of the news this weekend, through today then you know that it has been a bad few days in Afghanistan. There have been multiple bombings, attacks, and a lot of death over the last few days. What is really scary is that it is areas which have been historically “safe” like Konduz that have had a recent uptick in reported attacks.

The “Mez” and Konduz used to take a back seat to the south and east when it came to violence against coalition forces.
