Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An Afghan suicide attacker with the name of a Pakistan-based militant group on his waistcoat has driven a car bomb into a Canadian military convoy in south Afghanistan, wounding five soldiers and killing himself, officials said.
The attack, on the outskirts of Kandahar, will fuel Afghan suspicions that a recent wave of suicide bombings have been planned in Pakistan.
In a separate development, Afghan police clashed with suspected Taliban militants in the Helmand province, killing eight and arresting 10 others. Four police were wounded.
The violence continued yesterday when the Sangin district chief was killed by two men as he walked to a shop and a roadside bomb in the Maiwand district killed a policeman and wounded two others.AP
