At least 30 Taliban fighters have been killed in an explosion at a mosque in Afghanistan during a bomb-making class.

The 209th Shaheen Corps - part of the Afghan National Army - said in a statement that 30 fighters including six foreign nationals who were expert mine makers, had been killed in an explosion on Saturday morning.

The blast happened at a mosque in the village of Qultaq in the Dowlatabad district of Balkh province.

The statement said the bodies of the six foreign nationals could not be identified because of damage caused by the blast.

The Taliban fighters had gathered at the mosque to be trained in how to make bombs and IEDs, the Khaama Press News Agency reported.

Twenty-year class reunions are probably poorly attended.

“...at an Afghan mosque.”

Jesus says: “love your neighbor”.

Allah says: kill them.

And now they can’t take that valuable knowledge they gained and pass it on to the next class. Schade.

Reminds me of “the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion that occurred on March 6, 1970, in New York, NY. Members of the Weather Underground (Weathermen), an American leftist paramilitary group, were making bombs in the basement of 18 West 11th Street in the Greenwich Village neighborhood, when one of them exploded.” (Wikipedia)

So, someone enjoyed a TNT lap dance eh? In a Mosque, a holy place?
It more resembles a smoldering crater, at the present.

If only President Trump had not banned travel from Muslim countries these poor, mostly peaceful Muslims could have been in the US and this tragedy would never have happened. Trump’s fault...of course.

Today February 16, 2021 is the fifty first anniversary of the San Francisco Police Park Station bombing where a bomb placed by Bernardine Dohrn killed Sgt. Brian McDonnell, permanently blinded a second, and wounded seven other officers.

Less than one month later on March 6, 1970, Bill Ayers Weather Underground bomb makers blew themselves up in the Greenwich Village townhouse bomb factory explosion.

The son of Weather Underground Convicted Terrorist Murders Kathy Boudin, who survived and escaped the townhouse explosion, and David Gilbert, is now the District Attorney of San Francisco, Chesa Boudin.

He was raised by Ayres and Dohrn, and is named for Black Terrorist convicted fugitive cop killer Joanne Chesimard.

So, riddle me this, Batman . . . did they pass or fail the class?

And the really bright side of this story is that each and every one of them got to take 30 infidels out with him (including the professor, no doubt).”

Another crucial question here might be, were they saying “Ah!,” or “Allahu Ahkbar! Past the nostrils and through the toes, look out ladies, HERE WE COME!”

How to turn a mosque into a military target.
Use it for military purposes. If it stayed a simple place of worship, no one would touch it. But now we get to blow it up.
