Senior U.S. Soldier Killed By Suicide Bomber in Afghanistan - chairman - 08-10-2012
A senior U.S. Army soldier was killed along with a couple of majors by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan, and three special forces soldiers were gunned down by an Afghan commander who had won their trust and invited them to dinner.
The suicide bomber struck Wednesday as a group of U.S. military and civilian officials from the 4th brigade, 4th Infantry Division were in Sarkowi in Kunar Province, which is located in eastern Afghanistan. The suicide attacker detonated an explosive vest near the group.
Killed in the attack were Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin J. Griffin, 45, of Laramie, Wyo., the brigade's senior enlisted soldier. As a command sergeant major, Griffin was one of the brigade's senior leaders and provided leadership and guidance to the 4,000 man brigade.
Also killed in the blast were Army Maj. Thomas E. Kennedy, 35, of West Point, N.Y., and Air Force Major Walter D. Gray, 38, of Conyers, Ga. Gray was an air liaison officer and flight commander attached to the brigade.
The brigade is tasked with providing security in three provinces that border Pakistan. Based in Fort Carson, Colo., the brigade arrived in Afghanistan this past April.

The search for more body parts resumed Friday morning in Mississauga, Ont. (CBC photo)A day after a severed head was found in Hewitt Meadows Park in Mississauga, police have found two human handsPeel Regional Police are reporting that they have found two human hands, a left and a right, in the same place where a human head was found on Thursday, and a human foot on Wednesday.In speaking with AFP, a police spokesman shared, "we believe they all belong to the same person," adding that the remains appear to be several weeks old.

In a statement to the press on Friday, Sgt. Pete Brandwood said one hand was found near the same location as the foot, and the other was found further downstream.
UPDATE: Peel Police have confirmed via Twitter that additional body parts found around the same time as the human hands are the remains of an animal.

Police cannot yet say that the person was murdered, as they have not yet identified a cause of death, nor has the victim been identified. The victim is believed to be a woman, based on the presence of yellow nail polish on the toenails.
Earlier today, police said that the body parts found in the Credit River were not related to Luka Magnotta, who was arrested for the murder and dismemberment of Jun Lin in June, nor to missing Brampton teen Mila Johnson.Police say it seems safe to assume two severed hands found in Mississauga, Ontario are from the same person as a foot and a head found earlier this week. Police say there is nothing to suggest a link to alleged killer Luka Rocco Magnotta.
