NADAHAN VILLAGE, Afghanistan – Body parts in trees. Mud walls flattened. Corpses riddled with ball bearings.
NATO and the Afghan government on Thursday blamed a Taliban suicide bomber for the grisly scene at a wedding party where at least 40 people were killed by an intense explosion. But the Taliban claimed they played no role in the blast in the Arghandab district, an insurgent stronghold near the southern city of Kandahar.
Stunned survivors said they suspected a NATO airstrike was responsible, a view that reflects either their deep suspicion of the U.S.-led coalition or fear of Taliban retribution.

who gives the order for these attacks, and why kill your own people (supposedly). a few wedding there and in pakistan have been hit. doesn't hitting these soft targets somehow defeat the object. i know it can instill fear which is what they like but would this instill anger and hatred more than fear?
