[ToloNews] At least six coppers were killed in a Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
attack in the Qala-e-Haidar Khan village of Paghman district in the west of Kabul.
Security sources said that the Taliban launched an attack around 2:00 am on Tuesday night and seized all the weapons and other military equipment after killing the soldiers.
The security sources said that the Taliban also sustained heavy casualties.
The Taliban also tried to set ablaze the police checkpoint, but the security forces arrived and the Taliban fighters fled, said the Ministry of Interior.
"The Taliban fled the area, we have launched a clearance operation in the area," said Tariq Arian, a front man for the Ministry of Interior.
"Rockets were fired, there was also the sound of AK47 and mortars, the fighting started at 2:10 am and finished at around 2:50 am," said Rahimullah, a local resident.
Security sources said the Taliban fighters hid in residential areas after the attack.
"We tried to hide in a corner, all of us were frightened," said Hamid, a resident in Paghman.
"We have a company here, the security situation in the area is very tense," said Zia ul Haq
...the creepy-looking former dictator of Pakistain. Zia was an Islamic nutball who imposed his nutballery on the rest of the country with the enthusiastic assistance of the nation's religious parties, which are populated by other nutballs. He was appointed Chief of Army Staff in 1976 by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, whom he hanged when he seized power. His time in office was a period of repression, with hundreds of thousands of political rivals, minorities, and journalists executed or tortured, including senior general officers convicted in coup-d'état plots, who would normally be above the law. As part of his alliance with the religious parties, his government helped run the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, providing safe havens, American equipiment, Saudi money, and Pak handlers to selected mujaheddin. Zia died along with several of his top generals and admirals and the then United States Ambassador to Pakistain Arnold Lewis Raphel when he was assassinated in a suspicious air crash near Bahawalpur in 1988...

Tuesday night's attack was the second major attack in the area in the past week.
