This happened last week and it is something the military do not lend much media light to. This was a convoy of 50 Contractor's vehicles running with military foodstuffs to Kandahar and Tarin Kowt, when they were hit by a well sprung ambush between Kabul and Kandahar.

I was told there were 14 drivers killed and 45 truck destroyed.

The military here are currently eating a little more pasta than they were before. The argument is raging about who is going to wear the cost. Insurance is a little hard to get here.

The military are well known 'Weapons of Mass Avoidance' when it comes to security on the roads....road security?...who?...Us? They want & need the stuff through but are always reluctant to secure. Then they scream when they see the price of stuff.....'can't have it both ways!!'
