| 2016-01-05 |
| [DAWN] A large kaboom hit 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 Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... on Monday, hours after a jacket wallah went kaboom!near a police checkpoint in the Afghan capital, Rooters news hounds heard. A police official said the blast appeared to come from a vehicle bomb near a compound for contractors close to the airport. There were no immediate details of damage or casualties. It is the second blast of the day to hit the Afghan capital. Earlier in the day, a suicide bomber on foot struck a street leading to Kabul's international airport. The attacks have coincided with a new effort to restart peace talks with the Taliban after earlier meetings were broken off last July. Afghanistan's interior ministry front man Najib Danish had said that the target was a foreign forces convoy passing through the area but a police front man said he was not aware of that. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. |
