2016-02-29
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Kingdom of Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
has reportedly condemned deadly attacks carried out by the Taliban group in eastern Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
and 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....
which left scores of people dead.

According to the local media reports, citing official sources, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi has strongly condemned the deadly attacks in Kunar and Kabul, branding them as terrorist attacks.

"The source reaffirmed the Kingdom’s solidarity with sister nations in the fight against terrorism, which targets the security and stability in all parts of the world without exception," the report said.

At least eleven people were killed and around 40 others were maimed after a jacket wallah targeted a local tribal elder in Asadabad, the scenic provincial capital of Kunar province.

Hours later, a suicide bomber targeted the military personnel close to the Ministry of Defense in capital Kabul, leaving at least 15 dead and 31 others maimed.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said 3 Army Sergeants, 3 servicemembers, 1 civilian worker, 1 civil engineer, serving with the Ministry of Defense were martyred along with 4 civilians in today’s attack.

MoD further added at least 31 people, including 9 army officers, including a woman, 3 army sergeants, 3 soldiers, and 11 civilian workers were maimed in the attack.

The Talibs group grabbed credit behind the attack in capital Kabul.
