I am skeptical that this even happened. How do we know that they didn’t make up this story to try to save some face? How can we trust anything that this government tells us?
I can honestly see the regime reaching out to their Taliban friends for advice and permission to act. Tell the Taliban that they’re going to blow up a golf cart and do a little chest pounding, nothing more. This is purely to give the regime’s propaganda machine some kind of a positive story to push. I bet they vetted this “attack” with the Islamists before making the claims.
