#2 Looks like 2 x PSD and 1 x PC. Very powerful SVBIED - bit bigger than we're used to. Ripped through an armored Land Cruiser like it was a tin can. First photo I saw was of the driver side and I thought that's where it hit. Then I looked at a photo of the passenger side.

#3 The Taliban denied it was behind the Kabul attack

#5 Possibly. There are so many possibles. Local Taliban capos, drug lords, the Haqqani network (with or without Pak backing,) the ISI itself .

#6 The only reason the TB denied it was the high number of civilian casualties. We know who did it.
