losses continue. businesses are afraid to invest in the economy when washington continues to hand down mandates and tax increases that make it harder to succeed and to grow. all right. so there you heard the other side. let s get the headlines right now. we have a developing story for you. really tragic. six americans were part of a 10 person medical team and they have been shot and killed apparently by militants in afghanistan. they were ambushed returning back from an eye facility in the province, the leader of the group is now identified as tom little. he s an optometrist from delmar, new york and a taliban spokesman tells the associated press that these folks were killed because they were allegedly preaching christianity. well, the director of the international assistance mission says this reason is entirely baseless. as to us spreading christianity, that is simply not true. we are a christian agency. we are registered as such.
