| [WASHINGTONPOST] A suicide kaboom 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.... against one of Afghanistan’s most popular Pashto-language TV stations killed at least two people in the heart of the capital on Tuesday. The bomber detonated his explosives at the gates of the building, killing one security guard, while one of the three assailants slipped into the compound and killed an employee. At least 20 people were maimed in the attack. The Lion of Islams, who wore police uniforms, battled for three hours with security forces, forcing the station to halt its broadcast and filling Kabul with the sound of gunfire and kabooms. Shamshad TV was back on the air within hours, however, with one presenter appearing with bandaged hands. The Islamic State claimed the assault through its online Amaq News Agency. |
