Suicide bombers, not fighters main threat: US

The United States sees suicide bombers in Afghanistan as a greater threat than any organised summer offensive by the Taliban, which has been weakened by the loss of key commanders, a US official said on Wednesday.
US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher said the Taliban's threatened spring offensive had failed to materialise partly thanks to military action and reconstruction efforts.
"We will see attempts by them to organise ... But I think the greater fear has to be the suicide bombs. We have had some success in stopping that, but you can't stop the suicide bombers until you have real control over all the territory. "And we don't have that yet," he told reporters.
