Taliban behind fatal Kabul blast

By Paddy


I get so weary reading stuff like this. I'm not a war monger, but I was 100% behind going into Afghanistan and routing out the Taliban and Bin Laden. Almost 7 years later, this is what we've got to show for it.


The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the deadliest suicide bombing in Afghanistan's capital Kabul since the US-led invasion in 2001.

A Taliban suicide car bomb hit the Indian Embassy in Kabul killing 41 people and wounding 141, in an attack Afghan authorities said was co-ordinated with foreign agents in the region, a likely reference to Pakistan.

Afghanistan has accused Pakistani agents of being behind a number of attacks in recent weeks and Afghan President Hamid Karzai last month threatened to send troops across the border to attack militants there if Pakistan does not take action.
