| NDS Reveals Details of Jamal Assassination, Condemnations Flow |

| [TOLONEWS] Only a day after the liquidation of Pashtun-infested Logar Governor Arsala Jamal, the National Directorate of Security's (NDS) investigation has already yielded shocking details about the incident. Meanwhile, ...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth ordered the space pirate fleet to attack Zemblonia... Afghans and members of the international community alike have spoken up in condemnation of the attack. According to NDS officials, the bomb that detonated around 9:00am on Tueday at a mosque in Pul-e-Alam, leaving the provincial governor dead and nineteen others maimed, was hidden inside the Holy Qur'an being used for the morning Eid prayer. This report contradicts the initial information provided after the incident by local police, which mistakenly had the device planted inside the mosque's microphone. The killing of Jamal marks the second time since the fall of the Taliban that a Pashtun-infested Logar Governor has been assassinated. Back in 2008, then Governor Abdullah Wardak was killed by a remote control mine detonated by nearby hard boyz while he was leaving his house. Although no one has grabbed credit for Tuesday's attack, many have been quick to suspect Taliban involvement. The NDS' blurb condemned the liquidation as a defamation of Islamic teachings and humanitarian values. But it was hardly the only denouncement of the attack that has surfaced since Tuesday morning. United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... (UN) officials criticized the attack, with a front man in Kabul describing it as an inhuman and brutal act that turned people's happiness during the Eid holiday into fear and sorrow. "We strongly condemn the liquidation of Pashtun-infested Logar Governor inside the mosque on the first day of Eid, it's really an inhuman act," said Neelab Mubarez, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) spokesperson. She went on to reiterate the UN's plea to armed hard boyz in Afghanistan to avoid killing innocent civilians and respect human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... . According to a report released by UNAMA earlier this year, civilian casualties were up 23% from 2012, with the vast majority of them resulting from bully boy violence. James Cunningham, the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, also offered remarks on the incident. "An attack on a place of worship during one of the holiest times of the Islamic year is truly reprehensible. The Eid should be a time of celebration, reflection and peace. It has instead become a time of mourning for the people of Pashtun-infested Logar Province," the Ambassador said in a statement released on Tuesday. "Terror will not deter us, nor will the Afghan people allow themselves to be defeated by the enemies of progress," the statement read. Although news about the attack spread quickly through news outlets around the world, Afghans were, understandably, the ones first aware of and most impacted by the event. And there was no shortage of condemnations amongst them. "It was really a cowardly attack on the life of the Pashtun-infested Logar governor, the act is against Islamic and Afghan values," said Muhebullah Samim, Governor of Paktika ...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... province. |
