I wrote in an earlier article about the various uses of text messaging or SMS in warfare. The imagination is the only limit, when it comes to this stuff, and the enemy is definitely taking advantage of all and any western technologies. Rest in peace to the victims of this latest attack.
The details of the attack are still coming through, but SCG has put together a great little report on the attack. They make recommendations for travelers and businessmen as well.
Also, the company SCG provides free world update reports through their newsletter. They also have some interesting training they provide. As for jobs, they are also looking for iReporters, or that is what I call them. If you are out there, and you have some unique insight as to your little area of the world, I am sure these guys would like to hear from you. I don’t know how much they pay, but it is worth a shot if you are interested. –Matt

Narative of the Recent attack in Afghanistan
On the morning of February 11, at least three teams of Taliban terrorists attacked separate Afghan Government targets around Kabul in coordinated attacks at about 1000 local time. The attacks included suicide bombers. Targets included the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), the Ministry of Education (MoE), and the General Department for Afghan Prisons (GDAP). Current reports indicate that at least 20 people were killed, and 57 injured in the attacks.
Afghan defense officials have indicated that the attackers communicated directly with their Pakistan-based leadership via text-message. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was in response to the poor treatment of Taliban members in Afghan prisons.
