Taliban Suicide Car Bombing Kills Four near Kabul
2015-09-17
[AnNahar] A Taliban suicide boom-mobileer killed four people on Wednesday and injured dozens more on the outskirts of the Afghan 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 World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
, police said.

A total of 41 people, most of them civilians, were maimed when the bomber targeted the local district administration compound in the town of Paghman, said a police front man, Ebadullah Karimi.

"At around 10:30 this morning a suicide kaboomer detonated his explosive-packed car next to the Paghman district headquarters. Two coppers and two civilians have been killed, a further 41 have been injured," Karimi said.

A senior police officer was among the dead, Karimi added. Paghman is 20 kilometers (12 miles) west of Kabul.

The account was confirmed by the interior ministry deputy front man Najib Danish.

The Taliban, who have been waging a bloody insurgency since their regime was toppled in late 2001, grabbed credit for the attack.

Afghanistan has witnessed escalating violence since the forces of Evil launched their spring offensive in April.

Nearly 1,600 non-combatants were killed and 3,329 injured in the first half of this year, according to U.N. figures.
