[Chicago Tribune] The discovery of an 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

hideout filled with explosives and boom jackets in a poor Kabul neighborhood reflects the failure of Afghanistan's corruption-wracked government to protect the capital, analysts and residents said Friday.
This week's revelation that bully boyz were operating in Kabul's western Qala-e-Wahid district follows a recent series of horrific attacks in the heavily guarded city that killed nearly 200 people and maimed hundreds more, including foreigners.
Security forces were led to the safe house by an murderous Moslem who was captured during an attack Monday by IS bully boyz on a military academy in Kabul in which 11 soldiers died, according to an intelligence official.
From behind the 10-foot green metal doors, the gunnies were plotting to use the explosives, weapons and boom jackets in three more large attacks in Kabul, the official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with his agency's rules and did not elaborate on the plans.
Khan Mohammed, a resident of Qala-e-Wahid, told the AP that locals rarely see a police patrol in the neighborhood and stay at home after dark because of marauding gangs of thieves. They say the government can't provide security.
"It is dangerous for all the people of Qala-e-Wahid that ISIS was here, but they came here because it is an insecure area," Mohammed said, using the Arabic acronym for the Death Eater group.
"For ISIS, this was the perfect area because you can bring everything here from anywhere," added Mohammed, whose home is across the lane from the IS hideout.
