“The Taliban are trying to show that they are able to target the safest province in the country,” said Zahir Saadat, a member of parliament from Panjshir. “In terms of propaganda, this attack could be [a] big achievement for Taliban.” It looks as if it already is: twelve dead at the hands of the people who proudly proclaim that they love death.
“Car Bomb Explodes at Afghanistan’s Panjshir Valley Checkpoint,” by Ehsanullah Amiri and Margherita Stancati, Wall Street Journal, May 1, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):
KABUL—A car bomb exploded Thursday at a checkpoint that marks the entrance to Afghanistan’s Panjshir Valley, in a rare attack targeting the area that has been the bedrock of anti-Taliban resistance.
At least 12 people—half of whom were security forces and the rest civilians—were killed in the explosion, which took place as cars were lining up to go through security, Afghan officials said.
The attacker was trying to enter the valley but was stopped by officers at the gate, these officials said.
“The suicide blast took place after police identified the attacker,” said Azizur Rahman Kabiri, the governor of Panjshir province. “A second attacker then tried to attack from further back, but he was gunned down by police.” As many as 20 people were injured, most of them civilians, Gov. Kabiri added.
The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility for the bombing, which is of high symbolic significance. Panjshir is home to legendary commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, who was killed by al Qaeda shortly before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. At the time, it was one of few parts of Afghanistan that the Taliban regime never managed to capture.

This Taliban suicide /homocide bomber was the result of the extreme mind programing that is done in the mosques and madrasas by the imams and mullahs who throughly brainwash other people into believing in the Islamic doctrine from the Quran, 44:54. 55:56. 78:31 of a paradise with many virgins into for the Muslim male who dies in the jihad forthe cause of Islam. The actual origion of this Quranic doctrine is, in reality, not from a divine source but it was taken or lifted from Arabian and Zoroastrine mythology then fused together and then inserted into the Quran as well as in other written works of Islam by wicked and deceptive men. Now this doctrine /myth of a place with virgins is now part of thewhoile hoax of Islam. Furthermore, theBible explains abour such false teachers as these imams and mullahs who very much indoctrine this type of myth/doctrine as of a place with virgins into the hearts and minds of others. For the Bible reads “For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teachings, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crowd of teachers to tickle their ears. They will stop their ears to the truth and turn to mythology.”
Second Timothy 4:3,4. [NEB]
