Afghanistan: CIA station in Kabul reportedly attacked

The fact alone that the location has been publicized as a CIA station suggests a problem. "Afghan attack: Gunfire heard at Kabul 'CIA station'," from BBC News, September 25:

Gunfire and a blast have been heard from a compound said to house the CIA station in the Afghan capital Kabul.
A US official confirmed there was an attack on the facility previously known as the Ariana hotel, describing the situation as "fluid".
The CIA has not commented, but Afghan counter-intelligence sources told the BBC at least one attacker was killed. [...]
The gunfire at the US compound was heard on Sunday evening.
It was not clear if the incident took place inside the building or just outside.
"The situation is fluid, and the investigation is ongoing," said the US official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity.
The official declined to provide further details.
Afghan intelligence sources told the BBC that their personnel in the area had heard one explosion and gunfire which lasted nearly 10 minutes.
They said that "at least one attacker was dead", without giving any further details.
One source said: "The only thing we can confirm is they (the CIA) must have invited someone inside and he turned out to be an attacker. This is the only logical assumption."
The compound is located in the most secure part of Kabul - near the US embassy and Nato military bases.
Meanwhile, a source in the nearby Afghan presidential palace told the BBC:"After the explosion was heard, an Afghan National Army (ANA) vehicle was passing. CIA-employed guards opened fire on the vehicle, thinking it had attacked them."
The sources said that two ANA soldiers, one CIA guard and one presidential guard were injured.

And that would be Pakistan's answer to Admiral Mullen.

This story has been updated to include information that the attacker was an Afghan employee of the embassy and that, "The motivation for the attack is still under investigation..." Sigh.

Just threatening Pakistan is not enough, I think they (Pakis) are conversant with this adage: "Barking dogs never bite"

Action is the need of the hour.

Iran Could Have Nuclear Bomb 'Within Six Months'
(London Sunday Times)...Christina Lamb
Iran may be just six months away from developing a nuclear bomb despite international attempts to thwart the programme through sanctions and cyberattacks.


Waiting to hear from my kid who's stationed in Kabul. Maybe he can shed some light. He did say the 'locals' like to shoot stuff up to celebrate the end of ramadamadingdong.

Hope he's well, David. Having troops there under these conditions is madness.

I've said it before and i'll say it again - It's time to start bombing Pakistan. No warning, no declaration of war; just start carpet bombing their f*ckin cities. Keep doing it until "they feel themselves subdued and willingly pay the jizya".

Lack of political will, POTUS has soft corner for Moslems!

On this; probable attack on Pakistan, Paki media is rife on it:

Pakistan is not capable to retaliate against super power, as we saw, when US attacked a so called sovergn Pakistan during Osama raid - only blah blah from Pakistan.

“Robert Spencer incarnates intellectual courage when, all over the world, governments, intellectuals, churches, universities and media crawl under a hegemonic Universal Caliphate’s New Order.

Bat Ye’or
