2017-01-22
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A key Taliban fighter expert in making magnetic bombs was tossed in the clink
You have the right to remain silent...
by the Afghan intelligence operatives in Jalalabad city, the picturesque provincial capital of Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
province.

The National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
(NDS) in a statement said the detained bully boy has been identified as Baryalai son of Mohammad Jalat Khan.

The statement further added that Baryalai was expert in making magnetic bombs besides he was conducting other insurgency activities including murders and bombings.

Baryalai was looking to transport 6 magnetic bombs to Jalalabad city to target the civilian and military vehicles when he was arrested from Shah Amanullah town.

According to NDS, the intelligence operatives also confiscated two pistols with silencers from Baryalai.

The anti-government armed bully boy groups including the Taliban bandidos murderous Moslems have not commented regarding the report so far.

This comes as the Talibs have stepped up magnetic bombings in key cities of the country, including 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....
during the recent years.

In majority of such bombings, the ordinary civilians are targeted besides the magnetic bombings claims of the government officials and security personnel.

#2  Okay... I will bite. WTF does the Taliban consider a magnetic bomb to be? (Obviously not some sort of EMP one.)
