| [Tolo News] Basir Mujahid, a front man for the Kabul police chief, has confirmed that 11 army personnel were killed and at least 16 others were maimed in an attack on unit of the army's 111th Capital Division in Kabul early Monday morning. Clashes between security forces and bully boyz lasted for about five hours after a group of five attackers tried to enter the facility. A front man for the Ministry of Defence Dawlat Waziri said two bully boyz blew themselves up, two were killed and a third was incarcerated Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! The two jacket wallahs detonated their explosives at the gate, Waziri said. "Two attackers were detonated his explosive close to the academy and two other were killed by the security forces while the fifth one arrested," he added. Soon after the attack happened, a source inside the camp said kabooms and gunfire could be heard coming from the direction of the entrance. TOLOnews journalist Gulabuddin Ghubar reports from the area that security forces have blocked off all roads in the area. ISIS has grabbed credit for the attack. Last year on 21st October fifteen cadets from the same academy were killed when the bus they were traveling in was targeted in a suicide kaboom. This is just one more in a string of attacks in the country in the past nine days - including two other deadly attacks in Kabul. |
