KABUL, Afghanistan, May 2 (UPI) -- A suicide attacker detonated a bomb at the gates of a compound used by foreigners in Kabul, Afghanistan, Wednesday, killing seven Afghans, officials said.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was a warning to U.S. President Obama, who had cleared Afghan airspace less than two hours before the incident, The New York Times reported.
At least one Taliban fighter died in the ensuing fighting with Afghan special police and Norwegian military officers, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Hospital officials said 18 other people were hospitalized, including seven schoolchildren at a nearby school, and one person was in a critical condition.
Witnesses said the insurgents were dressed completely in Islamic veils to conceal their weapons, the Journal said. One insurgent detonated a car bomb that destroyed the main gate and at least two insurgents entered the compound and took over a laundry and maintenance building.

So the great spring offensive consists of wearing dresses and blowing up fellow Afghans and school children.
The yanks are leaving what purpose do more attacks serve other than the killing of the innocent?
