Afghan President's Adviser Killed In Attack

The Taliban claimed they carried out the attack, which seems to indicate a deliberate strategy of targeting the Afghan president's inner circle.

Hamid Karzai is most certainly getting a little worried about his safety with the Taliban working on killing all his advisors and family members.

Sounds like the Taliban is taking a page out of the United States playbook, target all the upper level guys and kill them.
