Kabul: Four people were killed and 20 wounded in a coordinated bomb and gun attack targeting the Afghan defence minister and several lawmakers in the country's capital Tuesday, not far from the heavily fortified Green Zone. The wave of blasts, which Washington said bore the "hallmarks" of the Taliban, came as the Afghan army urged residents to evacuate a besieged southern city ahead of a planned offensive against the insurgents after three days of heavy fighting.
Violence has surged across the country since early May when the Taliban launched a nationwide offensive soon after the US-led foreign forces began their final withdrawal.
Security officials told AFP four people were killed and 20 others wounded in Tuesday's attack, with medical charity Emergency saying four bodies of people killed in the assault had been brought to its facility in Kabul.
The interior ministry said the attack had been successfully repelled and all the attackers had been killed by security forces. "A big number of people were rescued and the area is secured now," spokesman Mirwais Stanikzai told reporters.

Exactly. They’ve had 20 years to prepare to defend against this. They’ve been trained, and armed. If they launch another terrorist attack on the US then nuke ‘em ‘till they glow and then shoot ‘em in the dark.

They had the benefit of 20 years and billions of US Taxpayer money to fix their country, and they didn’t do it. Too bad, so sad....We outta here!
Bet the Kabul times doesn’t publish Chicago murder/shootings so why should I care. I expect it’s gonna get a lot worse in both cities.
This is normal political discourse in that part of the world.
