...bombing was the first such attack in the middle of the capital since a suicide bomber detonated himself on an army bus on Sept. 29, killing at least 35 Afghan National Army soldiers. But it came a day after a bomb planted on a little-used road on the fringes of the capital exploded, killing four. And on Saturday, a suicide bomber blew himself up in the town of Paghman, 15 miles outside Kabul, in an attack on Italian military engineers building a footbridge. One soldier and eight Afghans were killed in that attack, including three children. The Taliban have...

...that are at the heart of the dispute. And it's not hard to see why that would be unacceptable to the U.S. "The amount of enrichment capacity you need to feed a nuclear reactor for energy purposes is actually far greater than what you need to make one bomb's worth of nuclear material a year," explains Ivan Oelrich, Vice President for Strategic Security Programs at the Federation of American Scientists. "It's actually not economical for Iran to enrich its own reactor fuel - it would be far cheaper to buy it from the Russians or others...
