02May12 The President Visits, We get Attacked

 

Last night I couldn't walk my usual route to work since there was a 'training exercise going on'.    Later in the evening it was on the news the the President was in Kabul (see link below).  He landed at the 'soccer field' (which also serves as a helo landing area and where the Friday bazaar is sometimes held).  Then he walked through a tunnel to the US embassy.  This morning, after he left there were then some mortar/rocket attacks and a suicide bomber hit the front gate.  I understand there was some injuries and it'll all be on CNN.  For me it meant an extra hour in the office until the all-clear was sounded.  No big deal.  The President visits, we get attacked.
