Afghanistan: Jihadis blow up car outside government building, storm the building and take civilians hostage

Dec 26, 2018 9:33 am By Robert Spencer

This is happening while U.S. troops are there. What will happen when U.S. troops are gone? This. The endless Afghan misadventure is a fool’s end with no clear mission, no goal, no purpose, no end point. The U.S. troops should come home, as they should have years ago.

“Militants storm government building in Afghan capital, take hostages,” Reuters, December 25, 2018:

KABUL – Militants stormed a government building in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul on Monday, taking civilians hostage as they fought a gun battle against Afghan soldiers, officials said.

The attack began in the afternoon when a suicide bomber blew up a car outside the Ministry of Public Works.

Shooting followed, with hundreds of government employees inside the building, said Interior Ministry official Nasrat Rahimi. No group immediately claimed responsibility.

Rahimi said two militants had been killed but gunmen in a nearby government building were exchanging fire with security forces.

“More than 200 people have been evacuated by the security forces, but many are still being held as hostages by the militants,” he said.

At least four people wounded in the clashes were taken to hospital, according to a spokesman for the health ministry.

An official working in a nearby government building said employees had locked themselves in their offices after hearing the explosions and gunfire.

Attacks on government offices are frequent and are generally carried out by the Islamist Taliban, who are fighting to expel foreign forces from strategic provinces, topple the Western-backed government and restore their version of hardline Islamic law….

    See….they really do celebrate Christmas in Afghanistan.
    How about a Jihadi song based on the 12 days of Christmas?

    There must be a big international effort for ABSOLUTE DEPROGRAMMING of Afghans.

    Here is an example:

    The devil’s children, doing his work. To “steal, kill and destroy” wherever they may be.

    The Qur’an and accompanying Sunnah–supremacist, barbaric, totalitarian software.

    As long as it continues to be downloaded in its “perfect” form, there will be atrocities committed in its name. The past 1400 years are filled with proof.

    The Left can’t/won’t see it. Craven ignoramuses all. They’ll mock, criticize, and malign Christianity and Judaism…ONLY because it’s safe to do so. Meanwhile, they’ll excuse Islam’s depravity to the point of saying the West brought terrorism on itself.

    Let anyone go to an Islamic hellhole but NO ONE gets out. No Muslim belongs in civilized (Western) countries.
