Taliban, Islamic State battling for the soul of Afghanistan
 [Dhaka Tribune] For 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.... ’s residents, springtime in Afghanistan brings three things: sunshine, rain showers and blood. Over the past two decades, the end of winter has been marked by a renewed campaign of violence from the Taliban. The deadly tradition continued this year with latest suicide kaboom in the capital . At least 64 people died and hundreds more were maimed in a assassination in close proximity to the Ministry of Defense and other military compounds. Posted by: Fred 2016-04-29 |
