Kabul blast: Taliban attack kills at least 10 in Afghan capital,

[Arsalan]

Sir many people become silent and they don't condemn attacks by Taliban because of the hypocrisy of the media and these so called libro-fascists who call Taliban as terrorists but won't condemn US and NATO for killing a far larger number of men & women. But killing of innocent people who are not armed, is sad and condemnable and that is why I deplore this indiscriminate act by Taliban and request them to be careful and only target the military installation. They should try to minimise the collateral damage.

Its all part of 5th gen warfare really. US are masters of art of perception making and deception. How else you think they would have walked away from the Iraq WMD fiasco? Destroyed a country, destbalized the entire region for god knows how many years and walked away saying it was all a mistake. You think anyone else would be allowed such mistake?

It is same in this case. They have built a narrative that Taliban are bad and they are the terrorists and they have built it in such a way that their own actions even if equally or even more barbaric than the Taliban are either ignored in best case scenario OR accepted and justified in worst case scenario!!

People continue to forget that Taliban - these are the same people who were in bed with that FITNA known as Al-Qaeda Network which is responsible for murdering thousands of innocent Pakistani and foreigners worldwide.

Thanks to initiative from Bush administration, Al-Qaeda Network was taken to task across Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, this fight is far from over. Remnants of Al-Qaeda Network colluded with additional mischievious entities in the Middle East and Pakistan to resurface in the forms of streams of ISIS (Daesh) worldwide. Now reports of Hamza Bin Laden are surfacing who is being groomed to take on the reigns of his late father Osama Bin Laden. This consistent phenomenon of the black banners (Salafi Jihadism) is very troubling.

FYI: https://www.csis.org/analysis/evolution-salafi-jihadist-threat

Now Trump administration have offered Taliban an opportunity to become a part of Afghan mainstream, and in spite of ongoing talks, killing and bloodshed continue.

I do not say that ANA is very professional, it isn't. However, Taliban is not helping either.

If Afghan political stakeholders do not mend their ways, ISIS-K will take advantage of these dynamics, and continue to destabilize region further. Thanks to ongoing Afghan Civil War, ISIS-K continue to lure more and more people to its cause.

Taliban is yet to come to terms with the fact that a large segment of Afghan society is refusing to revert to pre-2001 conditions. Therefore, ANA receiving more recruits from time-to-time. However, I feel sorry for these people.

Who created and supported Al-Qaeda? Who provided them training and weapons... would you like to tell the truth or you would just keep posting half truths and half lies that suit your narrative?

Completely wrong. CIA is propping up ISIS Khurasan in Afghanistan which consists of terrorists from Syria/Iraq along with former TTP terrorists to take on Pakistan and Afghan Taliban.

American mischief is duly noted - a massive theme of discussion in itself.

However, people continue to forget that Taliban - these are the same people who were in bed with that FITNA known as Al-Qaeda Network which is responsible for murdering thousands of innocent Pakistani and foreigners worldwide.

Bro no one forget that. However you agree that two wrongs dont make one right?? The FITNA of AQ or Taliban was not much different that that of Black Water or US lead forces not just in Afghanistan but around a dozen other countries around the world. It was not any worst than that US introduced and empowered ISIS. So while people should remember the AQ of the past they should also note and stand up to ISIS of today and its maker/facilitator in Afghanistan and the world.

Who is behind ISIS and who supports it in Afghanistan is on record. Its not a conspiracy theory bro, its hardcore facts!

Now Trump administration have offered Taliban an opportunity to become a part of Afghan mainstream, and in spite of ongoing talks, killing and bloodshed continue.

Agreed bro. I should be denounced in strongest possible terms. However at risk on sounding like a Taliban supporter (which i am not), do you remember the US attack on Taliban leadership during peace talks? I remember at least THREE such incidents.

I do not say that ANA is very professional, it isn't. However, Taliban is not helping either.

Yes ANA is not professional but you expect US to be!! Even they are not.

If Afghan political stakeholders do not mend their ways, ISIS-K will take advantage of these dynamics, and continue to destabilize region further. Thanks to ongoing Afghan Civil War, ISIS-K continue to lure more and more people to its cause.

Its already gaining strength thanks to the support it is receiving. US have no stakes in the area. One day they will just walk away!! Their policy of dealing with one problem (Taliban) with another one (ISIS/ANA) is going to creat problems for us.

Taliban is yet to come to terms with the fact that a large segment of Afghan society is refusing to revert to pre-2001 conditions. Therefore, ANA receiving more recruits from time-to-time. However, I feel sorry for these people.

I am worried that the Afghanistan gov and US policies in the country may change that. I honestly am afraid of this!!

Oh yes, same old CIA raising Frankenstein bullshit. It is people like you who have elevated CIA to god-like status in talks.

You need to dig deeper a bit. Chances are that you will see much more in the mix.

Wrong. Pashtuns (who are the majority ethnic group in Afghanistan) will always prefer Afghan Taliban over Northern Alliance Bacha Baaz scums.

Also more and more Tajik, Uzbek, Hazara are joining Afghan Taliban which historically has always been Pashtun insurgency.

More and more people of Afghanistan are going to Taliban courts to solve their disputes.

More and more ANA soldiers are deserting btw.
Afghans will fall in line just like how they did in late 90's. Doesn't matter whether they like someone or not. Only Pakistan will decide such things.

We must accelerate fencing the broder... the civil war post-exit is very well planned.... our danger is coming from AFs within our borders and paid agents..

Securing the Heartland i.e. Pakistan is the ONLY concern we should have.... anyone who thinks gangadeshis will let us just live in peace is dreaming....

This bend-over-backwards peace-begging excercise needs to stop... peace is never granted.. it is taken!

Fencing is being done at a good pace despite all hurdles and for that PA should be praised and rained with all superlatives..The COAS who took the decision and the soldiers and workers on the border building it and sacrificing their lives and all in between deserve accolades and unambiguous support from the nation. But we also need to fence our border with Iran and we should make Iran pay at least half of the cost.

Do you realize that Pashtuns have a fair representation in the US-backed Afghan government?

Hamid Karzai = Pashtun (2001 - 2014)
Ashraf Ghani = Pashtun (2014 - ???)

How these Pashtun came to power under American watch?

Making excuses for the actions of Taliban using Pashtun card, does not fly as an argument anymore. Taliban does not believe in democracy, they desire a revert to pre-2001 socio-religio-political order.

 

[nahtanbob]

It is! But sir it is as baffling as the double standards of THE WORLD that are slient about killings lead by Americans! By ANA but call out Taliban as terrorists. BOTH SIDES are wrong, don't you think. On one hand the Afghan posters are, if they are not calling out Taliban on this and on other hand, the whole world is, when they look the other way when US kills civilians or ANA does it.

The taliban are known neanderthals that were supported by only three countries - Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE.
It is not like America wants to be in Afghanistan. We were out 1990-2001. Let us forget why the hell American troops are there in the first place

u.s and afghan puppet regime have killed more innocent civilians in air raids which they falsely claim to have killed talibans.I think this attack is done by isis backed by india and u.s

Kabul blast: Taliban attack kills at least 10 in Afghan capital,

Taliban claims responsibility for blast and attack near the defence ministry that kills 10, injures at least 68.

24 minutes ago

The Taliban has claimed responsibility for a powerful explosion and a follow up attack in Kabul's downtown area near the ministry of defence that has killed at least 10 people and sent dozens to the hospital.

The bomb went off during morning rush hour in the capital when the streets were filled with people.

Mohammad Karim, a police official in the area of the attack, said a car bomb exploded outside a defence ministry building.

At least three fighters then ran into a nearby high-rise located near the ministry's engineering and logistics department, a government security official said.

"Gunmen have entered a building and they are clashing with the Afghan forces after the powerful blast," said interior ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi.

Taliban spokesman Zabuhullah Mujahid said in a statement that the group's fighters attacked "the logistics and engineering centres" of the ministry of defence.

The statement said the large explosion outside the defence ministry building caused "heavy casualties to a number of civilian people", but said the target of the attack was not civilian, but military.

The Taliban has been criticized by the United Nations, NGOs and the Afghan government for causing civilian casualties.

Ongoing fighting

Police and special Afghan security forces had cordoned off the area. Sporadic gunfire and explosions could be heard hours after the attack began.

The heavily-secured neighbourhood is home to some military and government buildings, including one shared by Afghanistan's intelligence agency and defence ministry, as well as the Afghan Football Federation and the Afghan Cricket Board.

"Some of our colleagues are trapped inside, we have reports of some injuries. We don't know if the attackers have entered the building," Shams Amini, a football federation spokesman said.

At least 68 people including nine children were taken to hospitals, health ministry spokesman Wahidullah Mayar said.

The explosion rocked Kabul's Police District 16 early on Monday [Facebook]

The attack comes two days after the Taliban and the United States began a seventh round of talks in Qatar, where the armed group maintains a political office.

The negotiations have so far centred on four issues -- counterterrorism, the foreign troop presence, an intra-Afghan dialogue and a permanent ceasefire.

A potential deal would see the US agree to withdraw its troops after nearly 18 years in Afghanistan, igniting deep concerns among many Afghans who fear the fighters will return to some semblance of power.

In return the Taliban would guarantee the country would never again become a safe haven for violent groups, as happened with Al-Qaeda before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Sad to hear this

 

[war&peace]

Wrong. Pashtuns (who are the majority ethnic group in Afghanistan) will always prefer Afghan Taliban over Northern Alliance Bacha Baaz scums.

The only reason why Afghan Taliban have not only survived rather successfully recaptured major areas in Afghanistan is due to the local support. No foreign country can help a group that has no local support. Afghan Talibans are not a rag tag militia. They are ideological and an indigenous resistance to the occupation forces.

Hamid Karzai = Pashtun (2001 - 2014)
Ashraf Ghani = Pashtun (2014 - ???)

These two puppets are not representatives of Pashtun people.

Taliban kill/injure women and children = HALAL

Taliban delegations for talks, should be held hostage at gunpoint now and made answerable for this shitshow.

This is just a sad and unfortunate display of end justifies the means for you - displayed by all parties, although US forces (not ANA or NA thugs) are much more constrained in their use of force to avoid collateral damage.
Haram and Halal argument wont work here when the so called “Jihad” is being financed by drug (haram) money.
