The assault highlight- ed the increasingly deadly tac- tics that Taliban militants are learning from al-Qaida, an expert said. The multi-pronged raid mirrored an attack in Kabul in February when militants assaulted three government buildings simultaneously, kill- ing 20. Wednesday’s attack on Kan- dahar’s provincial council of- fice killed seven civilians and six police officers, President Hamid Karzai’s office said. Ahmad Wali Karzai, the head of the council and President Karzai’s brother, said the at- tack came during a meeting of tribal leaders. He said 17 people were wounded. The attack began just before noon, when a suicide bomber in a vehicle full of explosives blew himself up at the office gates, opening the way for three other attackers in Af- ghan army uniforms and AK- 47s to storm the building, Ah- mad Wali Karzai said. He said he was the target of the attack; he did not say how he knew he was the target. Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. general in the Mid- east, said Wednesday that the Taliban and other insurgents are growing stronger and that the U.S. military will fight “re- lentlessly and aggressively” against extremists in Afghani- stan and Pakistan. G-20 protesters jam London, target banks LONDON — Thousands of G-20 protesters jammed downtown London on Wed- nesday and some tried to storm the Bank of England, pelting police with eggs and fruit and rocking the bar- ricades designed to control them. Demonstrators shouted “Abolish Money!” and clogged streets in the financial district known as “The City” even as Prime Minister Gordon Brown and President Barack Obama held a news conference else- where in the British capital. Protesters had branded the day “Financial Fool’s Day” ahead of Thursday’s summit of world leaders who are gath- ering in hopes of resolving the global financial crisis that has lashed nations and workers worldwide. “Every job I apply for there’s already 150 people who have also applied,” said protester Nathan Dean, 35, who lost his information technology job three weeks ago. “I have had to sign on to the dole (welfare) for the first time in my life. You end up having to pay your mortgage on your credit card and you fall into debt twice over.” Demonstrators hoisted effi- gies of the “four horsemen of the apocalypse,” representing war, climate chaos, financial crimes and homelessness. “The greed that is driving people is tearing us apart,” said Steve Lamont, 45, flanked by his family and protesters who were banging on bells, playing drums and blowing whistles. Sudanese president returns from summit KHARTOUM, Sudan — Thousands of chanting, sing- ing people greeted the Suda- nese president, who’s wanted for war crimes, as he returned Wednesday from his trip to the Arab League Summit in defiance of an international arrest warrant. “We were confident with our relationship with our Arab brothers,” President Omar al- Bashir told reporters at a news conference in the airport in Khartoum. Al-Bashir later drove through the city sur- rounded by crowds of people dancing and singing, and waving posters in support. The Sudanese leader’s trip to the summit in Doha, Qatar, this week was a high-profile snub to the International Criminal Court’s March deci- sion to issue an arrest warrant for al-Bashir over the ongoing conflict in Darfur. Al-Bashir was embraced by the 22-member Arab League, which decided not to enforce the arrest warrant. Only three Arab League countries — not Qatar — are signatories to the court’s founding treaty. Helicopter carrying 16 people crashes EDINBURGH, Scotland — A helicopter returning from a North Sea oil platform went down off the northeast coast of Scotland on Wednesday with 16 people on board, and police said at least eight were killed. Scotland’s Grampian Po- lice said eight bodies have been recovered from the sea. Authorities searched for the eight remaining people but Alex Salmond, First Minis- ter of Scotland’s nationalist government, said the outlook was grim. “It looks like we might be might be facing (Britain’s) second-worst helicopter support incident in history, in terms of the number of fatali- ties,” he said.
