excerpt from: Afghans accuse Italians of assassination plot
by Abdul Malek, Reuters, 11 April 2010
| Quote: | Afghan authorities have arrested three Italian workers from a medical charity as part of a plot to assassinate a provincial governor in southern Afghanistan, the governor said on Saturday.
The Milan-based charity, Emergency, confirmed that the workers had been detained but said it did not know why.
Gulab Mangal, governor of Helmand province, told a news conference the three Italians working at a hospital run by the charity had been arrested along with six Afghans.
The hospital is located in Lashkar Gah, capital of Helmand, Afghanistan's most violent province, where U.S. and British forces launched a massive assault in February against Taliban fighters.
"Explosive suicide vests, hand grenades and weapons were brought to the Emergency hospital with the help of the foreign staff and their colleagues to carry out attacks in Lashkar Gah. The aim was to assassinate the governor," Mangal said, referring to himself.
"According to their plan, an Emergency foreign staff member received $500,000 as an advance for killing me."
Mangal's spokesman Dawood Ahmadi said two pistols, nine grenades and two explosive suicide vests had been found at the hospital |

I don't understand the 'thick' reference. Seems to me there is not sufficient info to judge what happened here.
Here is another attack on Afghan civilians (rather than Afghan Resistance fighters, which they will insist on calling 'insurgents' and 'terrorists'):
