| [An Nahar] A powerful blast targeting an armoured NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... convoy in Kabul killed at least eight people and maimed 28 Wednesday, including three coalition members, officials said in an attack claimed by 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group. The kaboom, which came during morning rush hour on a busy road near the US embassy and NATO headquarters, killed "mostly" civilians, an interior ministry front man told AFP without giving a breakdown. NATO said three coalition service members had received "non-life threatening wounds" in the attack. "(They) are in stable, pH balanced condition, and are currently being treated at coalition medical facilities," a front man for US Forces-Afghanistan said, without confirming their nationalities. IS grabbed credit for the blast via its Amaq propaganda agency, saying the eight dead were all American soldiers. The gunnies are known to exaggerate their claims. |
