14 November, 2005 Kabul, Afghanistan - Today military personnel, serving with NATO’s International Security Assistance Force in Kabul, were involved in two separate attacks on the Capital’s Jalalabad Road during which a German soldier died and a further 2 German and 2 Greek soldiers were wounded.


The first incident took place near the Joint Electoral Management Body (JEMB) building at around 1500 hours, when the car in which the German soldiers were travelling in was rammed by another vehicle which exploded killing the driver and one German soldier, seriously injuring 2 others as well as injuring 3 civilians and 2 Afghan National Policemen on guard outside the JEMB. ISAF emergency services immediately evacuated the injured, including the 5 civilians, to ISAF’s military hospital where they are currently receiving treatment. The local Kabul City Police (KCP) quickly arrived at the scene and immediately assisted ISAF troops in securing the area.

The second explosion occurred at around 1630 hours 300metres West of the first incident and involved two ISAF vehicles. Two Greek soldiers were lightly injured when a second improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated. In addition, 1 small boy was killed during this attack and a further 2 civilians injured.


After the second explosion, at approximately 1705 hours, a car was observed approaching the security perimeter at high speed. ISAF troops assessed the vehicle as a threat and fired several rounds at it, causing the car to come to a halt at the side of the road. At this stage it is known that one of the individuals inside the vehicle was killed; a full investigation into the afternoon’s incidents has begun.
ISAF wishes to offer its condolences to the family of the deceased and express its regret to those involved. ISAF condemns today’s attacks, which will not deter the force from carrying out its mission of helping the Afghan people to build self-sustaining peace, security and democracy.

KABUL, Afghanistan - “This sacrifice in the service of peace must not be forgotten”: So spoke ISAF Commander General Mauro Del Vecchio at a memorial service for the ISAF soldier killed yesterday when a vehicle bomb exploded next to the vehicle in which he had been travelling. The memorial service was held at Camp Warehouse, home to ISAF’s Kabul Multinational Brigade on Jalalabad Road.
In an address to hundreds of ISAF personnel attending the service, General Del Vecchio commiserated with the family and colleagues of the dead soldier, adding “We have a challenging task and sometimes we as soldiers must make the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of our duty”.

Cars in flames, bodies ripped apart, foreign soldiers targeted: three suicide attacks in Afghanistan this week show a shift towards Iraq-style tactics by Taliban rebels encouraged, some analysts say, by the presence of Al-Qaeda. The three blasts together killed 10 people including a German soldier and the three attackers. They were claimed by the fundamentalist Taliban movement that a US-led coalition removed from power in 2001 because they did not hand over Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden for the September 11 suicide attacks.

Solche Bilder braucht das Land.

Habe brav die Suchfunktion genutzt. Was ist das besondere eines Spezzug? Sind das die einzigen, die das noch können, was eigentlich jeder Fallschirmjäger können müsste:confused

Ich hab da die Erfahrung gemacht das die Soldaten des Vareler SpezZugs sehr arrogant sind. Was mir auch persönlich die Entscheidung leicht macht da hin zu gehen.

Jeder sollte seinen eigenen Schwächen kennen.  

Wie bei der Hälfte der Infantrie, die aus SaZ besteht  :hmpf
