An attacker driving an ambulance packed with explosives detonated them Saturday in the Afghan capital of Kabul, leaving 95 people dead and 191 others injured, Afghan officials said.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mojahid claimed responsibility for the attack, which comes a week after militants stormed a Kabul hotel.

The blast occurred around 12:45 p.m. local time after the vehicle passed through a security checkpoint, Interior Ministry spokesman Nasrat Rahimi told CNN.

Police identified the attacker at a second checkpoint, Rahimi said, but couldn't stop him before he detonated the explosives in a central area near the old Interior Ministry building, a hospital and diplomatic buildings.

Muslims believe they have the duty to murder anybody who doesn’t agree with their own interpretation of the koran.

Straight out of the PLO/Hamas/Palestinian playbook.

But it’s a peaceful, friendly religion.

Just awful. Who was he targeting?

Murdering his own people? These people are so evil.

Nuke it from orbit, and when it stops glowing, repopulate it with human beings.

Muslims don’t have a pope, they have books which command them to kill anybody who doesn’t read the books the way they do.

In this context, anybody cooperating with the infidels against the Taliban should die.

“repopulate it with human beings.”

We have a President who knows how to build first class hotels and excellent golf courses. The rad levels should be safe enough to start construction in a decade or so. Don Jr. can supervise.

The Taliban message: “We will keep killing innocent people until you put us back in charge. Then we will give them a trial, find them guilty, and kill them.”

The ISIS Caliphate is smashed, so the remaining fighters have gone back to join up with the old groups to carry out their attacks.

They should do a swap, and blow up a few compounds with everyone in them.. The Taliban has no honor code, why do leaders here think they fool themselves into thinking you can humanize them.
