[Pak Daily Times] A Taliban jacket wallah went kaboom! near an Afghan military bus in Kabul on Sunday, killing four people in the latest attack in the Afghan capital in the final year of NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis....
combat operations.
Two military officers and two civilians died when the bomber, who was on foot, targeted the bus taking defence ministry staff to work.

The attack followed an improvised bomb (IED) blast on Saturday evening in which two people were maimed and a massive suicide kaboom on a restaurant a week ago that killed 21 people, including 13 foreigners.

"There are four dead. Two civilians, one of them female, and two military officers. It was a suicide kaboom," defence ministry front man General Zahir Azimi said of Sunday's attack.

At least 22 people were also injured, including two other civilians, he added.

A Taliban front man using a recognised Twitter account grabbed credit for the blast in the southeast of the city shortly after 07:00 am.

The bully boyz claimed 27 Afghan troops had been killed or maimed, though they regularly exaggerate corpse counts after attacks.
