																	BANGALORE - The suicide bomber who crashed an explosive-laden car into the 
																	Indian Embassy in the Afghan capital Kabul on Monday not only killed 41 people 
																	and injured more than 140, he sent a powerful message to Delhi that its

																	Among the dead were four Indians, including Defense Attache Brigadier R D

																	is said to be among the deadliest in Kabul since the fall of the Taliban in
