  3. Does my suicide vest make my butt look big!

    One less despicable terrorist minister is good news.

  5. Thought it was a joke at first, then noticed it was posted in worldnews, ironic considering how many suicide bombers the Haqqani network used.

  16. Probably a former Taliban splinter group that thinks the current Taliban isn’t being oppressive enough to women.

  18. Westerners think there is some kind of irony here because they haven’t *really* been following Middle Eastern politics the past 50 years unless their boots are on the ground.

    Terror is just a tactic and suicide bombing is effective in that region. The Taliban have been targeted in these attacks before, they already understand them. They’ve deployed them, they won’t be the last either. Standard warfare procedure in those factions.

  22. Between this and Assad… it’s been a few days of good news.

  27. Oh dear never mind what a shame, what’s for dinner?

  28. Haqqani was treated as a separate group from the Taliban when I was in Afghanistan. They were affiliates, but had different ideologies.

  29. I am very confused. Who is attacking who anymore? What’s going on?

  31. Still reading through, but was the bomber Taliban or ISIS? I know that the Taliban has been having issues with a branch of ISIS out there.

  33. Islamists always need a target. First it’s the minorities. Then it’s women. Now that they have oppressed all of them, infighting begins. Because threre is always a power struggle.. Same thing is going to happen in Syria.
