 [ABCNEWS.GO] At least two security forces were killed and 10 others, including both soldiers and civilians, were maimed in an attack by Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province. Attahullah Khogyani, front man for the provincial governor, said the two killed were intelligence service members and one was director of the Jalalabad intelligence department. The attack began when a rocket was fired toward a private TV station in Jalalabad, and when security arrived at the scene a blast took place followed later by a third kaboom, said Khogyani.

An Islamic State group affiliate grabbed credit for the attack on a local TV and radio station in Jalalabad in a statement that was also posted on its Aamaq news agency website. "Fighters of the Islamic State targeted with a rocket the building of Inekas radio station in Jalalabad city" the statement said.
