| [Tolo News] According to Afghan security officials a deadly attack foiled Tuesday night by national army special forces in the capital of Paktiya province. National army first unit front man, Ahmad Jawed Salim, told TOLOnews " a group of 20 forces of Evil who were trying to conduct suicide and group attacks similar to the attack in Paktika ...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... province in Gardez capital of Paktiya were foiled in an army special forces operation which was launched Tuesday night around 10 p.m. and ended about 12 a.m.". According to Salim, during this operation 19 Taliban forces of Evil were killed and one other was maimed. During the operations heavy and light weapons were seized by the Afghan forces, Salim said. It comes after at least 89 non-combatants were killed and nearly 50 others maimed on Tuesday when a jacket wallah detonated his explosive-laden truck in a marketplace in Argon district in eastern Paktika province, bordering Pakistain. The suicide bomber detonated his explosives in a crowded bazaar on Tuesday morning, destroying dozens of mud-made stores and erupting fire in several shops. The Afghan Ministry of Interior blamed the Taliban for the attack, a blame the Taliban rejected. Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... and the UN have condemned the attack in the strongest terms and linked the action to the enemies of Afghanistan. Religious scholar Mawlawi Hedayat condemned the attack, saying it was against Islam's principles, particularly during the month of Ramadan. |
