Afghanistan: Islamic State jihadis disguised as doctors murder more than 30 people in attack on military hospital

Mar 8, 2017 4:52 pm By Robert Spencer

According to a hadith, Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” (Bukhari 4.52.268)

“Isis gunmen disguised as doctors kill more than 30 people in attack on military hospital in Kabul,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, March 7, 2017:

Militants disguised as doctors have killed more than 30 people in an attack on a military hospital near the US embassy in Kabul with bombs, grenades and guns.

Isis claimed responsibility for the assault on the Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan hospital as battles between jihadis and security forces continued on Wednesday, leaving at least 50 wounded.

The terrorist group, which is competing with the Taliban in Afghanistan, claimed its “commandos” had killed more than 100 people at the 400-bed facility for wounded soldiers.

Photos apparently taken by one of the militants showed him wearing a surgical mask and suit, while armed with a gun and machete.

Isis published a graphic image claiming to show the bodies of three medical staff lying on the hospital floor on its Amaq propaganda channel.

A suicide bomber blew himself up at the rear of the complex before three gunmen armed with automatic rifles and hand grenades entered through the breach.

The gunmen, dressed as medical personnel, had taken position on upper floors of the hospital and engaged special forces sent to the scene, officials said.

A worker at the hospital told Reuters he saw one gunman dressed in a white doctor’s coat take out a concealed AK-47 and open fire, killing at least one patient and one hospital worker.

Abdul Qadir also heard firing from several other parts of the hospital, which treats military casualties from around Afghanistan.

Security forces blocked off the area around the hospital, which sits near a busy road junction in the Afghan capital, and a second explosion was heard during battles.

General Dawlat Waziri, a spokesperson for the Afghan defence ministry, said government troops had taken full control of the facility after several hours of fighting.

He said there “more than 30 killed and more than 50 wounded” at the hospital, which is the largest military clinic in Afghanistan.

It lies across the road from the heavily fortified US embassy and around the corner from the Afghan Supreme Court, emphasising warnings by government officials that high-profile attacks in Kabul are likely to escalate this year.

President Ashraf Ghani confirmed the assault during a speech to mark International Women’s Day, saying: “There is an ongoing terrorist attack in a hospital which tramples all human values.

“In all religions, a hospital is regarded as an immune site and attacking it is attacking the whole of Afghanistan.”…

    rational for suicide attacks to win ‘Paradise’ https://quran.com/9/111 & https://sunnah.com/bukhari/56/33-35
    ‘… be martyred ten times because of the DIGNITY he receives (from Allah).’

    There is no limit to their evil. They are accumulating a large debt to be paid and that payment will be required soon. The beast does not have an unlimited time of existence. Glorious will be the Day when God eliminates this scourge from the devil, completely from this earth.

      some history. Yes indeed.. I am just very grateful to our Lord that our troops were not in that place… Keep in mind, our hospitals here in the USA have little or no security. I spent almost 40 years working in large medical centers. I saw many security flaws, some that could well be easy marks for Islamic terror, right here in our own backyard.
      In my book “BEDSIDE'”, I dedicate one chapter to the lack of real security in many of US hospitals, large and small. Another reason to not let the savages in to attack our most at risk citizens…. Sick bastards.

    Afghanistan: Islamic State jihadis disguised as doctors murder more than 30 people in attack on military hospital
    ……………………………

    Damn barbarians.

    More:

    “In all religions, a hospital is regarded as an immune site…
    ……………………………

    Except in Islam. A “Palestinian” Muslim woman who had been treated in an Israeli hospital plotted a suicide bombing when she returned for a checkup; when Hamas took Gaza, they followed their wounded Fatah rivals into hospitals and murdered them.

    And here is a Muslim mob of 70 who attacked a hospital in Denmark. It is thought they intended to finish off a man who had been admitted with stabbing and gunshot wounds:

    “70 Muslims Attack Hospital in Denmark”

    http://www.aina.org/news/2012082490853.htm

    There are many more cases, all over the world.

    More:

    …and attacking it is attacking the whole of Afghanistan.”
    ……………………………

    Except for those Afghans who support the Taliban and Islamic State, of course. I have not been able to find figures for ISIS, but in 2009 56% of the Afghan population–*more than half*–supported the Taliban. Support has reportedly dropped somewhat since then, but is still very high.

    Islam is synonymous with disguise.
    All global thesaurus entries should be updated.

    Thirty patients in an Afghan hospital would mean that at least the majority of those patients were also Muslims. Does this mean mortal interaction between Afghan tribes or clans?
    Not only is Islam encouraging Muslims to kill non-Muslims, but those killed by 30 terrorists masquerading as physicians were probably Muslims also. Now, they’ve been murdered.
    These lunatics are worse than evil!

      ……………………….

      Stan, please reread the headline–this was a *military* hospital, so patients there are members of the Afghan governmental army, such as it is. Ergo, they are considered fair game for Taliban and the Islamic State, both of whom want to take over Afghanistan.

      And yes–the victims were almost certainly Muslims, also. Afghanistan is almost 100% Muslim–and we see what a violent sh*t hole it is as a result.

    God, I hate these sick bastards.

    I feel bad for those Afghans who want to live in a modern world, and are at least trying to fight the Taliban and ISIL.And those wanting to get out of the hellhole.

    Afghanistan did have some rulers that tried to modernize, and bring it into the twentieth century, and did manage to have some success and peaceful times.

    https://www.theglobalist.com/afghanistans-arc-of-modernization-1880-to-1978/

    Some Americans and other’s who lived in Afghanistan before the disaster of the Communist coup and all, loved living there.

    Some women risked their lives to secretly continue educating girls in their homes during the rule of the Taliban. Brave, smart independent women tend to get assassinated in Afghanistan, like the first police women.

    Killing the bravest ones, not good for the gene pool.

    Wish we could get rid of every single Islamist…Ugh.

    The religion of Death.

    At the core of Islam there is a bottomless pit; the adoration of Thanatos.

    “In all religions, a hospital is regarded as an immune site and attacking it is attacking the whole of Afghanistan.”…

    “In all religions”? Really? Even if it is run/filled with people whom your religion says are at war with you, are your worse enemies and tht you’ll go to paradise if you kill them?

    Compare and contrast with Israel, which not only would never do such a heinous thing, but actually provides medical care to wounded Jihadis.
