None were Americans. Early reports, later denied by Afghan officials, said that at least two of the dead had been beheaded.<\/p>\n<p>The attack was the deadliest for the United Nations in Afghanistan since 11 people were killed in 2009, when Taliban suicide bombers invaded a guesthouse in Kabul. It also underscored the latent hostility toward the nine-year foreign presence here, even in a city long considered to be among the safest in Afghanistan \u2014 so safe that American troops no longer patrol here in any numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Unable to find Americans on whom to vent their anger, the mob turned instead on the next-best symbol of Western intrusion \u2014 the nearby United Nations headquarters. \u201cSome of our colleagues were just hunted down,\u201d said a spokesman for the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, Kieran Dwyer, confirming the attack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The difference between a nutty Christian and a nutty Muslim is that when the nutty Christian loses his head, everyone else gets to keep theirs; with Muslims it&#8217;s the reverse.
