NATO: 6 killed in Afghanistan blast were U.S. troops

KABUL, Afghanistan - All six troops killed in a weekend roadside bombing in eastern Afghanistan were Americans, NATO confirmed Monday.
German Brig. Gen. Gunter Katz, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition, disclosed their nationalities at a briefing, but said he could not provide other details about the incident because it was still under investigation. He said a seventh NATO service member killed Sunday in a separate insurgent attack in the south also was an American.
The Taliban on Monday claimed responsibility for the deaths of the six U.S. troops ? the latest caused by bombs planted by insurgents along roads, paths or mountain tracks.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement the blast struck the U.S. troops in their armored vehicle around 8 p.m. Sunday in Wardak province, just south of Kabul.
Coalition and Afghan forces are trying to secure areas of Wardak that insurgents use as gateway into the Afghan capital where they stage high-profile attacks on Afghan government and NATO targets.
Wardak provincial police chief Gen. Abdul Qayum Baqizoi said that after the explosion in Jalrez district, a coalition airstrike killed a local Taliban commander and wounded three insurgents.
Also in the east, authorities said gunmen assassinated a chief prosecutor in Ghazni province Monday morning as he drove to work. Mohammad Ali Ahmadi, the deputy provincial governor, said Sahar Gul was shot twice ? once in the head and once in the chest.
The Taliban routinely target Afghan government officials to weaken support for President Hamid Karzai's administration.
In the south, three suicide bombers riding in a three-wheeled vehicle blew themselves up Monday afternoon in Kandahar city, killing two children and wounding six other civilians, said Kandahar provincial spokesman Ahmad Jawed Faisal. He said authorities had not determined the target of the explosion.
A surge in Afghan and coalition forces during the past two years has routed Taliban fighters from many of their strongholds in the south, but the insurgents have stepped up their attacks this summer to take back key areas.
Separately, President Hamid Karzai on Monday condemned the public killing of a married Afghan woman who was accused of allegedly running off with another man.
In a statement, Karzai called the execution-style slaying an unforgiveable crime. A video of the killing, which surfaced recently, showed the woman being shot multiple times as people stood nearby cheering.
Before it collapsed in 2001, the hardline Taliban regime carried out public executions of women, mostly for adultery.
Police in Shinwari district of Parwan province say the Taliban were behind the woman's slaying, which occurred about up to 12 days ago.
Karzai's condemnation comes as donor nations met in Tokyo to pledge $16 billion in aid for Afghanistan. The donors expressed strong concerns over how the money will be handled and also called on Kabul to improve human rights, especially women's rights.
"Such a crime is unforgivable in the sacred religion of Islam and the laws of the country," Karzai said.
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul and the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces on Sunday also condemned the killing of the woman.

Facebook Might Be Working On A Job Board, But Don?t Get Too Excited
Stop the presses! Facebook and LinkedIn are going to become archrivals in the recruiting market! At least, that's the subtext of a new article in the Wall Street Journal which reports that Facebook plans to launch a job posting board later this summer. It's a nice scoop if true (the Journal cites "people familiar with the matter"), but reading the story is a strange experience. Basically, it starts out by explaining why the job board isn't a big deal. Then, having established that it isn't a big deal, the story talks about what a big deal it is.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/GLr00MojYo4/

Boy, 4, dies after tombstone falls on him in Utah

A 4-year-old boy is dead after a large tombstone toppled onto him while his family and some friends gathered to take pictures at a historic cemetery in a Utah ski resort town.
Carson Dean Cheney was at the Glenwood Cemetery in Park City on Thursday evening when the 6-foot-tall headstone detached from its base and fell on him, Park City police Capt. Phil Kirk said Friday. The headstone was about 4 inches thick and weighed hundreds of pounds.
"There's still so much disbelief and sorrow and anguish," the boy's grandmother Geri Gibbs told The Associated Press. "We just keep waiting for the door to open up and Carson to come through, a happy little boy."
She said Carson was just about to enter kindergarten, loved to ride his bike and was "full of life."
Investigators were still probing the incident Friday.
Gibbs said the boy and his family were visiting from Lehi, about an hour away, and were at the old cemetery while his father took photos of friends and relatives.
The boy was holding onto the headstone when some metal connecting it to the pedestal broke, Gibbs said.
She said it took three men to pull the slab off the boy, and rescuers "did everything they could possibly do."
The child suffered injuries to his head, chest and abdomen and was taken to the nearby Park City Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
Curtis Morley is a family friend and works with the boy's father, Zac Cheney, at a professional services firm in Salt Lake City. He said Zac Cheney does photography in his spare time and was shooting portraits at the cemetery because of its extensive landscaping.
Morley said some of the children being photographed were not being responsive, so Carson tried to help his dad by pretending to be leprechaun and making them laugh. Morley said the boy went behind a tombstone and was popping his head in and out when it fell on him.
"Carson passed away while trying to make others smile," Morley said.
Park City Police Chief Wade Carpenter said the heavy, coarse stone marked the grave of someone who died in the 1800s.
Bruce Erickson, president of the Glenwood Cemetery Association, said the private, five-acre cemetery around the corner from Park City Mountain Resort was founded by a society of silver miners in 1885, and many of the tombstones are at least 100 years old. The cemetery is open to the public and still accepts burials of people connected to the mining society.
Erickson said no funerals were held there Thursday.
New burials happen maybe just once a year, he said, and families are responsible for maintaining the headstones. Erickson said the cemetery likely will be closed through the weekend.
A funeral for the boy is set for Tuesday. Morley said a memorial fund has been set up at Zions Bank.
