| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] A security guard of the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) was killed and a staff member of the UN mission was maimed in a shooting incident in 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 Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... "The United Nations in Afghanistan confirms that a security guard at one of its compounds in Kabul was killed today in a shooting incident," the UN mission in Afghanistan said in a statement. The statement further added that "A staff member of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) was also injured in the incident. The injuries are described as not serious." No further details were given regarding the exact location of the incident by the UN mission, saying "The circumstances around this tragic incident are still being investigated." "UNAMA extends its condolences to the family of the victim and wishes our UNAMA colleague a speedy recovery," the statement added. No group has so far grabbed credit behind the attack which follows almost eight months after a UNAMA staff was killed in attack in southern Kandahar city. Meanwhile, ...back at the comedy club, Boogie was cracking himself up, but nobody else seemed to be getting the non-stop jokes... four staff members of the United Nations were killed in a terrorist attack on a restaurant in capital Kabul nearly two and half years ago. The victims of the incident were senior UN officials who were serving with UNAMA, UNICEF, and the UN-affiliated International Monetary Fund. |
