Herat is actually a very cool city to visit. It has a (rebuilt) citadel reputedly founded by Alexander the Great, a massive Blue Mosque, and a set of enormous minarets, now leaning precariously, the remnants of a vast madrassa complex from centuries ago. But it also has a minor problem with IEDs, and now this, one of the more brazen insurgent attacks, not as large as the attack last month in Kandahar but still pretty ambitious. I haven't counted, but my impression is that attacks involving suicide bombers are up this year.
