[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A suicide kaboom rocked Bagram district in northern Parwan province of Afghanistan this afternoon targeting a convoy of the foreign forces.
According to the local officials, the incident took place after a jacket wallah rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into the convoy of the American forces.
District administrative chief Abdul Shakoor Qudosi confirmed the incident and said preliminary reports indicate a number of civilians have sustained injuries in the attack.
He said there are no reports regarding the possible casualties of the American forces as there are fears that some of them have also sustained minor injuries.
In the meantime, another security official confirmed that three civilians were maimed in the attack and added that there are reports that two foreign soldiers have sustained injuries.
The Taliban ...Arabic for students... group grabbed credit behind the incident and claimed that dozens of American soldiers were killed or maimed in the attack.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A female foreign aid worker has been rubbed out by gunnies in Mazar-e-Sharif city, the quiet provincial capital of Balkkh province in North of Afghanistan.
According to the local security officials, the incident took place around noon time in one of the health centers of the International Committee of the Red Thingy.
Provincial police front man Shirjan Durani confirmed the incident and said the female aid worker was rubbed out by two men who had visited the hospital for the treatment.
He said the two men who killed the female aid worker have been locked away Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! and are in jug of the police forces.
There are no reports available regarding the identity of the dear departed aid worker and the main motive behind the incident has not been ascertained so far.
... but gratitude was probably not it.
This comes as the anti-government armed Death Eaters carried out an attack on ICRC staff members in northern Jawzjan province nearly seven months ago.
The gunnies believed to be loyalists of the ISIS terrorist group also kidnapped a number of the ICRC staff member after the attack.
However, it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... the ICRC organization last week informed regarding the release of the hostages but provided no details regarding the circumstances surrounding their release.
A Spanish physiotherapist working for the Red Cross in northern Afghanistan was shot and killed Monday by a wheelchair-bound patient, in the latest attack on the international charity. The woman was shot inside the aid group's orthopaedic centre in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, Thomas Glass, spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, told AFP. The victim, who has not been identified, was taken to the NATO military base hospital at Camp Marmal where she died of her wounds.
Two people have been arrested over the deadly attack, including the 21-year-old shooter who police said was a "regular patient".
"He had hidden the pistol in his wheelchair which he used to shoot the victim," police spokesman Shir Jan Durrani told AFP.
Deputy police chief Abdul Razaq Qaderi said the man "opened fire on the doctor as soon as she entered the consultation room".

[AnNahar] Indian government forces killed two suspected rebels and captured one in Kashmire on Monday during a brief shootout, sparking protests by local civilians, police said.
Soldiers and special counterinsurgency police forces surrounded a neighborhood in Khudwani, a village in the south of Indian-administered Kashmire, after a tip-off about the presence of Death Eaters.
"Two Lions of Islam (were) killed in an encounter with police, army and CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force). One was tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! ," a police statement said.
Police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of local residents who erupted into the streets in support of the slain Lions of Islam and threw stones at government forces.
Both belonged to the region's largest rebel group, Hizbul Mujahideen ...Party of Holy Warriors, founded by Muhammad Ahsan Dar in September 1989. One of the Pak sock puppets waging jihad in Indian Kashmir. It was originally organized as the armed wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. In 1990, Dar declared Hizbul as the sword arm of Jamaat. Hizbul murdered many of the pro-independence intelligentsia in Kashmir. After the organization was taken over by Syed Salahuddin Dar and several other ex-Hizb leaders were assassinated between 2001 and 2003... , police said.
The shootout came a day after government forces killed two suspected rebels and captured another in the southern Shopian area after a day-long exchange of fire. Armed rebels are rarely captured alive.
More than 140 suspected Lions of Islam have been killed so far this year in the restive Kashmire valley, where India has deployed thousands of additional troops to hunt for anti-India rebels in an offensive dubbed "Operation Allout".
Hizbul Mujahideen is one of several rebel groups fighting the roughly 500,000 Indian soldiers deployed in the territory, demanding independence or a merger with Pakistain.
[DAWN] Two copperswere maimed in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... 's Rizvia Society on Monday when an unknown gunman opened fire on a police mobile during a security check.
Station House Officer Rizvia Arshad Janjua said an unknown armed motorcyclist fired at a police mobile during snap checking in Jahangirabad, injuring police constables Sirajuddin and Zeeshan Safdar, according to a police statement.
The injured coppers were shifted to a private hospital for treatment. Inspector General Police (IGP) Sindh A.D. Khawaja directed a senior superintendent of police to ensure the provision of the best possible medical care to the injured officers, the statement said.
The IGP also ordered police to initiate an investigation into the matter and bring the attacker to justice, and asked the deputy inspector general west to produce a detailed report following an inquiry into the attack.
No one has grabbed credit for the attack as yet. However, a woman is only as old as she admits... recent attacks on police personnel in Karachi have been linked to a newly-formed bad boy outfit called the Ansar-ul-Sharia which has carried out at least three attacks on targeting police officials and an ex-army officer in this city since April this year.
Sources claim the group has been targeting retired and serving officers of the law enforcement agencies to create a ’shock value’ as the victims appear to be a ’soft target’.

A security source told Alsumaria News that a number of foreign members within the group, led by the so-called head of the "Jihadists Shura Council", performed the prayer at a mosque in central Hawija, before the leader directed them to "blew themselves up during the upcoming battles".
The leader also admitted the loss of the group’s domains in Hawija, according to the source.
The Iraqi government said late August that Hawija, which IS has held since 2014, was the next target of its operations against the krazed killer group. The government troops had, so far, recaptured djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , IS’s former capital, and the town of Tal Afar, west of Mosul.

[Iraq News] Thirty 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.... women members had blew themselves up during battles with the group in western djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , according to a senior Iraqi commander.
Twelve others had been enjugged Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! recently and referred to justice, according to Sabah al-Noaman, spokesperson of the army’s Counter-Terrorism Service. He said those arrested lately included French, German, Chechnyan, Iranian, Moroccan and Tunisian nationals.
Noaman said that security forces had managed to convince only two women not to proceed with suicide kabooms, while attempts with the other 30 were futile.
Iraqi government forces recaptured western Mosul early July, consummating the takeover of the whole of Islamic State’s former capital after more than eight months of battles.
Iraqi military officials were recently quoted in news reports saying that more than 1300 women and kiddies of Islamic State fighters had surrendered to the troops in Tal Afar late August. The captives included Russian, Ottoman Turkish and central Asian nationals, according to the officials.
IS has notoriously relied on women members to act as vigilantes on civilian females at areas under their control and also as fighters on the field.
As U.S.-backed Iraqi operations realized victory in Mosul, many female holy warriors were believed to either have died or fled to other group strongholds in Iraq and Syria.

[Breitbart] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, security forces have uncovered a number of bombs that were planted at the Ansar complex, the major Hamas "military" and security base in the center of Gazoo city, a local security source told Breitbart Jerusalem.
Until Hamas’ takeover of the Gazoo Strip, the Ansar center served as the largest security base of the Paleostinian Authority. In addition to bases for most of the Paleostinian security forces, there is also a prison facility in the compound. The site has been controlled by Hamas since the group took over the Strip.
The placement of the explosives at the site, said the source, came as a surprise to the heads of Hamas’ security services as the compound is tightly guarded due to the many security prisoners held inside, which include some suspected of cooperating with Israel and jihadist supporters of 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.... The Hamas source said that the engineer unit of the compound’s security guards successfully dismantled the explosives, which were likely meant to destroy the center’s walls ahead of a possible raid to release those imprisoned.
The source noted that security camera footage of the site did not help in identifying any suspects who could be seen placing the explosives. The source added that suspicions are currently focused on jihadist organizations associated with the Islamic State, dozens of whose members have been imprisoned in the compound after being accused of firing rockets at Israel or trying to infiltrate Sinai to join IS fighters there.
The source also noted that the investigation is focusing on the possibility that the jihadists suspected of planting the explosives had help from Hamas security personnel, including employees of the Ansar center, due to ideological support for the jihadists and IS.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Black Bart's knife out of his hand...... Hamas has continued to arrest hundreds of jihadists and holds them in its prison facilities. An extensive wave of arrests against the jihadists began last month after the death of a Hamas security officer in an suicide kaboom as he tried to stop two jihadists from infiltrating Sinai.
The discovery of the explosives at Ansar also comes as Hamas makes efforts to talk to senior holy mans and influencers from among the jihadists, including those imprisoned in the group’s facilities.
Breitbart Jerusalem reported that Hamas established a special committee comprised of the heads of its military wing and its senior holy mans in an attempt to negotiate with the influential holy mans among the jihadists in order to reach a solution to the crisis between the two sides.
