| [AA.TR] Taliban stormed two major security installations, including a police center and a regional intelligence agency office in the capital 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.... Wednesday, according to an eyewitness and officials. The 6th district center of Afghan police and the 12th district of the National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... were targeted in the attack described by a security source as suicide kabooms followed by gunbattles. Najib Danish, deputy front man for the Ministry of Interior, confirmed the ongoing attacks. Danish told Anadolu Agency at least two attackers stormed the security installations after a suicide car kaboom. He added that five security personnel sustained minor injuries. "All attackers have been killed, our security forces are now busy in the clean-up operation," Danish said later in the evening without disclosing the exact number of the attackers. An eyewitness, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to security concerns, said between two and three attackers were involved in the gunbattle with Afghan forces. Waheed Majroh, front man for the Ministry of Public Health, said two non-combatants were killed and 41 others were maimed in this attack. The Afghan Taliban have grabbed credit for the attack in a statement on its website. According to the holy warrior group, vehicles loaded with explosives attacked the security installations at a time when an important meeting was underway there. It also claimed that several Afghan security personnel had been killed in the attack. |
