Afghanistan
Rocket lands in Makroryan area of Kabul
2016-07-25
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A relatively heavy kaboom was heard 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 World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
city causing panic among the city residents a day after a deadly attack left at least 80 dead.

The security officials confirmed that a rocket landed in Makroryn area in the 9th police district of the city.

Sediq Sediqi, front man for the Ministry of Interior, confirmed that the rocket landed in 3rd Makrorya but did not inflict any casualties.

Earlier reports emerged from the incident site suggesting at least 5 people were maimed after a rocket landed in a kindergarten.

No group has so far grabbed credit behind the incident.

This comes as at least 80 people were killed and 231 others were maimed in a suicide kaboom in Deh Mazang area of the city on Saturday afternoon.

The incident took place after a jacket wallah detonated his explosives among the thousands of protesters who had gathered in the area.

The demonstration on Saturday was organized two months after the Enlightening Movement organized a similar rally to protest against the government over the implementation of a power project through Salang which was initially to be implemented through Bamyan and Maidan Wardak provinces.

The 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....
