The U.S. military estimates that $360 million spent on combat support and reconstruction in Afghanistan ended up in the wrong hands.

Insurgents assaulted Kandahar Air Base, the main military base in southern Afghanistan, on Saturday night, military officials said, in the second attack on a major base in a week.

Western military officials acknowledge that none of those in a car fired on by soldiers had links to the insurgency.

In a daring midday raid that showed insurgents' ability to strike Pakistan's military virtually at will, militants today stormed a Rawalpindi mosque filled with military officers and a group of children, killing at least 37 people with a combination of gunfire, grenades and suicide bomb blasts.
