"I couldn't do any harm to the Americans by protesting and throwing
stones," said Matihullah. "I want to put on the suicide vest and blow
them apart."
Suicide bombings have become more widespread across the country in
recent months, with assailants taking to innovative tactics such as
concealing bombs in turbans and using children.
U.S. President Barack Obama apologized for the burnings of the Koran at
Bagram air base. But the anger has not subsided.
The Afghan army chief of staff, General Sher Mohammad Karimi, said in an
interview with Reuters that the Taliban had taken advantage of the Koran

number volunteers who want to fight against the enemy have remarkably
increased," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters, speaking
of the group's efforts to boost infiltration of Afghan security forces.
"We are now busy placing them inside and outside the enemy lines."
President Hamid Karzai's government is hoping to persuade the Taliban to
negotiate an end to the war, now in its eleventh year.
Karzai and NATO have launched an ambitious reintegration program to
enable Taliban fighters to renounce violence and join mainstream
society.
Abdullah was one of the few Taliban members who agreed, laying down his
weapon to give the nascent peace process a chance.
But the Koran-burning episode is likely to set him on a violent path
again.
"The Americans disrespected our religion, our holy Koran. This evil act
is unforgivable and Jihad is a must for every Muslim right now," he
said.
"Anybody who ignores Jihad is not a Muslim. I will be a proud to be
martyred in defense of our holy book."
Hope of victory has been taken away because of the ignorance of our
leaders.
