Insurgent Attack on NDS Fails in Kandarhar
2014-05-20
[ToloNews] A jacket wallah, who wanted to target the National Directorate of Security (NDS) department of southern Kandahar early Sunday, detonated his explosive inside a civilian home after he was stopped by the NDS security guards.

The incident took place at about 7:30 a.m. in Kandahar city when the krazed killer attempted to enter the NDS department when the security guards stopped him for inspection. The attacker panicked and fled the area, forcing himself inside a civilian home, according to Ahmad Zia Durani, Kandahar police chief front man.

"The civilians of the home escaped after the bomber entered their house to hide," Durani said. "The police force surrounded the home and began firing.

Several minutes later the bomber detonated his explosive only damaging the house. There were no casualties."

A week ago, the Taliban had announced taking on new war tactics to target government institutions, the Afghan cops and foreign forces.

The Afghan forces will take over full security responsibility of the country by the end of the year as foreign troops leave Afghanistan.

So much for Positive Identification [PID]. Rules of Engagement only apply to infidels. Besides, if he escapes, he could be captured later and talk.

#1  I wonder if the Caped One will condemn the firing on a "civilian home".
