A bombing and a shooting attack in Kabul have killed at least three people, including a deputy provincial governor, while a deputy provincial council chief was killed in western Afghanistan.

The attacks on Tuesday are the latest in relentless violence in Afghanistan even as the Taliban and Afghan government negotiators hold talks in Qatar, trying to hammer out a peace deal that could put an end to decades of war.

According to Tariq Arian, an Afghan interior ministry spokesman, a sticky bomb attached to the armoured vehicle belonging to Kabul's deputy provincial governor killed two people, and wounded two others.

The deputy provincial governor and the apparent target of the attack, Mahbobullah Mohibi, was killed alongside his secretary while two of his bodyguards were wounded, Arian said.

Abdullah Abdullah, chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation, condemned the attack and said the recent increase in attacks across the war-torn country was a clear enemy of the Afghan peace process.

If Trump is out then you can bet The Pedo will send more troops. Gotta keep the The Forever War going at all costs.

I’ve been reading a history of the French Foreign Legion, Our Friends Under The Sand.

The French won a war against Vietnamese insurgents in the 1890s.

No helicopters. No bombers.

There’s no money in that. Nobody will be going anywhere.
