Militants attack US special operations base in capital Kabul
2015-08-08
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Another heavy kaboom rocked capital late on Friday night which triggered shootout between the Afghan cops and the assailant holy warriors.

The blast took place close to the vicinity of the north of Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
airport in Qasaba area in the 15th police district of Kabul city.

The main target of the coordinated attack was a military base used by the US Special Operations forces where initially a large kaboom took place allowing the remaining holy warriors to launch attack on the base.

Sporadic clash between the security forces and the assailants continued for several hours involving heavy and lights weapons.

Preliminary reports suggest at least three Americans were maimed in the attack but the security officials have not commented regarding the exact number of casualties so far.

This was the third consecutive kaboom which jolted capital Kabul within the past 24 hours which have left several people dead and scores of others maimed.
