5 killed in ISIS RPG attack on mosque (!) in Nangarhar province
2015-11-01
At least five worshipers were killed after a rocket allegedly fired by Daesh hit a Mosque in Achin district of eastern Nangarhar province, officials said on Saturday.

The rocket was fired in Pandolai area on Friday evening, leaving eight others wounded, said Haji Ghalib, the district governor for Achin.

According to Ghalib, Daesh fighters launched six rockets on a security force base, one of which landed on the mosque.

Achin had reportedly become a major hub for newly-emerged Daesh fighters over the past few months.

However the Afghan forces launched a large-scale operation in Achin, leaving huge casualties among the extremist fighters.

#8  I guess when you spend every day, five days a week, teaching math---some things become reflexive.

#4  N! / ( K! * (N-K)! ) or N! / K! / (N-K)!)

#3  Combinations of N taken K at a time. This is really crazy. That is why factorials are represented by exclamation points. Too many players in the ME cauldron now, so we need mathematical methods to begin to understand this madness.

Combinations of N taken K at at a time =

N! / ( (K!) / (N-K)! )

#2  According to Ghalib, Daesh fighters launched six rockets on a security force base, one of which landed on the mosque.

Or it could be that one of the rockets missed the targetted security force base.
