Afghan Ministry of Information and Culture

Things are getting worse day by day in Afghanistan. Safety has become a crucial issue in Kabul, and it is no longer an issue that can be overlooked.

The latest armed attack has been on one of the Afghan Ministries of Kabul. A man managed to enter the building of the Ministry of Information and Culture yesterday and blew himself up minutes after.

It may seem somewhat surprising that the suicide attacker got into the building without being spotted, as the security is usually very tight in Ministry buildings.
In fact, it has been revealed that a couple of men used violence in order to make their way in and, when they finally got inside, the one wearing the explosive charge pressed the button and detonated it.

The bomb caused consistent damage to the building, as the force of the explosion blew off almost all the windows.

Several ambulances attended site immediately to attend the several people injured in the attack.

Kabul, Members of the Military Forces at a Murder Scene

The Afghan capital, Kabul, seems to become one of the most dangerous places to be in nowadays.

Only three days after the death of the British aid worker (who was supposedly killed for working for a Christian organization), the city witnesses yet another brutal incident.

Three more people have been shot to death in Kabul. The attack took place in the Sher Pur area of the city, in front of the DHL courier company, in a neighborhood inhabited by a large number of foreigners.

The nationalities of the three victims have not yet been revealed to the press, but some say they might have been of German origin.

The latest incidents are causing more and more question signs; are foreigners safe in Kabul anymore? Should they start worrying for their lives? Three foreign women were deadly shot in August, another one last week and two other foreigners died today….will there be any more victims?

Pakistani Religious School Students

US missiles hit North Waziristan school, in North-western Pakistan, killing eight students. They were apparently aimed at the house of a Taleban leader, called Jalaluddin Haqqani, but the pilotless US drones misidentified their target and hit the religious school.

The US authorities have made no comment on the incident yet, while the Pakistani army is closely looking into the matter in order to establish exactly how things happened.

There are voices that tend to link this unfortunate ‘accident’ with the latest decisions taken by the Pakistani parliament which basically decided to expel all foreign troops from the country and not let anyone attack other countries while on Pakistani territory.

Eye witnesses say half the school has been totally destroyed, at least eight seminary students were killed and several others injured, but nobody is yet sure whether the attack was aimed at the Taleban leader or his son, Sirajuddin.

Over the last few weeks, the US troops have frequently attacked suspected Taleban and Al-Qaeda camps based in Northern Pakistan, close to the Afghan border.

It has been said that incidents like the one that just happened have been reported in the past as well, and that every time the missile launchers were pilotless, which makes it easier to through the blame at artificial intelligence failures.
