| [Tolo News] Kabul shootout that lasted for about two hours on Saturday afternoon took the lives of 9 people, including two coppers while 12 others were maimed in the attack, security officials say. Afghan security officials confirmed civilian casualties in the incident. The incident took place after a cop shoppe in the heart of Kabul came under attack by three jacket wallahs wearing military uniforms. Security officials said the first suicide bomber went kaboom! outside the station and the two others were attempting to get into the city's first security district compound while exchanging fire with forces. The two remaining suicide bombers were rubbed out by Afghan cops, officials said. Right after the first suicide kaboom happened, people were panicking out of the Kabul Market known as Mandawi, the biggest wholesale market in Kabul that is full of businessmen and vendors almost at any time of the day. The situation has gone back to normal, officials said. The Taliban have grabbed credit for the attack.
Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... news hounds at a presser that the United States is in direct talks with the Taliban to broker a peace settlement.
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants... troops were torched by Islamic fascisti on Saturday. Four guards were killed and four others were maimed in the attacks. The attacks came as the US President Barack B.O.Obama is on the verge announcing the size of the troops that should be pulled out of Afghanistan based on Obama's troop withdrawal strategy that will begin this July. | ||
