The Los Ageles Times reports:

Pointing up the dangers faced by Afghan civilians as insurgents take aim at Western troops, a minibus in eastern Afghanistan hit a roadside bomb Wednesday, killing 12 passengers, provincial officials said.
Taliban fighters and other insurgents have made roadside bombs their weapon of choice. Although buried bombs are the No. 1 killer of Western troops, they kill and maim far larger numbers of Afghan civilians.
Many of the devices are planted on roads known to be used by military convoys, but civilian vehicles travel them as well, often with deadly results.

The explosion came as Kabul, the capital, was on high security alert during a military parade marking the 18th anniversary of the toppling of a Soviet-installed government by mujahedin who drove the Red Army out of Afghanistan.

Two years ago, the Taliban attacked the anniversary observances in a bid to assassinate President Hamid Karzai. Karzai was not present for this year's parade; he was at a regional conference in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
