	Afghanistan Rocked As 105 Die in Violence
		ASADABAD, Afghanistan, May 18 -- Afghanistan has been rocked over the past two days by some of the deadliest violence since the Taliban was driven from power in late 2001.

		The violence has surged as NATO forces prepare to assume the lead military role in Afghanistan from U.S. troops this summer, a transition that some observers believe the Taliban and other insurgent groups are seeking to test.

		ASADABAD, Afghanistan Two bomb explosions killed at least 24 people in southern Afghanistan on Monday, in an escalating campaign of violence that may be aimed at deterring NATO from taking over the task of ensuring security in the south of the country, officials said.
		President Hamid Karzai condemned the bombing and said it was a sign that the "enemies of Afghanistan" were running scared in front of the achievements Afghanistan has made in establishing a Parliament and provincial councils, and they were resorting to suicide attacks and bombings.
		Most of the bombers were non-Afghans, and some were drug addicts or defenseless people who had "lost all stability in their lives" and who were being duped into killing themselves, he said.
