Rip to the death.

And an another reminder to the world how India is spreading systematic terrorism inside south east asia.

Kid if you don't know, yes Mr. Doval went to Iraq, cut a deal with all parties involved, negotiated and paid the random requested (which GOI will never acknowledge), secured the safety and release of our citizens and brought them back. That's how responsible countries care about their citizens. I'm pretty sure many countries had done the same not only in Iraq but in Syria, Libya, Yemen any country where their citizens are caught in the middle of a conflict.

Kiddo, dont talk BS, everyone in Pakistani establishment knows what your little monkey has been upto in Iraq and how ISIS was brought into Afghanistan as the counter to Afghan Taliban and replace the battered TTP with them to carry on project "terrorize Pakistan". Its another thing that this has now blowing in the face of Kabul regime who along with yanks were all onboard. Russians have openly pointed fingers at yanks as the force behind the creation of ISIS.

Doubt it is ISIS, there is nothing for them to gain in afghanistan. At least in ME they had power and they fight back to get it.
ISIS has become a very good facade for lot of proxies.

Feeling terrible after to see these pics.

Whoever has done this should pay in kind, and Afghanistan should use all options available direct, covert or anything to make sure this is avenged. Don't just kill them if located, kill their kit and kin in similar way so that they too feel the pain.

Well afghans simply dont have the spine, after being intoxicated by religious fundamentalism they cant do anything.

ISIS has solid presence in Afghanistan. They have claimed many attacks before in Kabul including that military hospital attack among many others. ISIS considers Afghanistan to be part of Khurasan and hence want to control. Go read more about it.

RIP and speedy recovery to injured, these terrorists know nothing but destruction of their own people. They can burn in hell.

 

[El Sidd]

The surge has been touted for quite some time now. It is high time that Afghanistan sees a scorch earth policy to get rid of the ISIS threat which if allowed further ground will engulf the whole region.

Stricter border control and fencing should be sped up to stop the stream of ISIS sympathizers into Pakistan.

Afghanistan has made it a profession milking its neighbors and the super power of the world. A complex mixture of suicidal mentality as a nation and sheer curse of strategic importance.
