Spanish ambassador to Afghanistan faces investigation after Taliban attack
2016-11-04
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Spanish ambassador to Afghanistan is facing investigation after a deadly attack by Taliban left at least 6 people dead, including 2 Spanish and 4 Afghan coppers.

The Spanish High Court judge agreed on Wednesday to investigate allegations that Spain’s ambassador to Afghanistan ignored security concerns before the Taliban attack.

The widow of one of the dead coppers and seven Spanish coppers injured in the attack had accused the ambassador 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....
, Emilio Perez de Agreda, and his former deputy, Oriol Sola Pardel, of involuntary manslaughter over the alleged security failings, Rooters reported.

According to the complaint filed, the French secret service warned on the morning of the bombing of the risk of an attack against the embassy and that this should have led to extraordinary security measures being taken.

The attack by the Taliban faceless myrmidons took place in December last year targeting a guest house attacked to the Spanish embassy in Kabul.

Talibs launched the attack with a jacket wallah detonating a vehicle packed with explosives close to the embassy of Spain in Sherpoor area of Kabul city around 6:00 pm local time.

The kaboom triggered a standoff between the security forces and the assailants who took position in a compound close to the blast site.
