Afghanistan

Afghan officials have officially declared the Taliban responsible for the November 6 suicide bombing in Baghlan province that killed over 59 school children and six visiting Parliamentarians. Four Taliban operatives were arrested in connection with the attack. Two British nationals have been ordered to leave the country after officials accused them of aiding the Taliban with money and guns. President Karzai is set to visit Pakistan tomorrow to discuss the ongoing cooperation against the Taliban and al Qaeda as well as security issues along the border.
