2016-06-24
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] An kaboom took place in the vicinity of Wazir Mohammad Akbar Khan area late last night but did not incur any casualties, security officials said.
The barometric pressure dropped?
The blast took place near Wazir Akbar hill after an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) exploded and an investigation is underway regarding the incident.

The target of the kaboom has not been ascertained so far which comes three days two back to back kabooms rocked 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....
The first blast on Monday took place in the 9th police district of the capital after a jacket wallah targeted a mini bus carrying the Nepalese guards.

At least 14 people mostly Nepalese nations were killed in the attack and around 10 others were maimed.

Another kaboom took place hours after the first blast on Monday in Chel Siton area of the city targeting a politician who was injured in the attack.

Both the Taliban group and the loyalists of Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
