TERROR IN KABUL







The Hotel  Ablaze After the Terrorist Attack   


On the 20th January, at 9 pm local time, a band of Taliban terrorists attacked the Intercontinental hotel in Kabul, killing at least 40 innocent people and injuring many more.   How could these brutal criminals possibly manage to get past the security guards at the hotel entrances?

The world is deeply shocked and grieved by this heinous attack that took place in the apparent safety of a luxury hotel.  Our heart goes out to the relatives of the victims, and our sympathy and esteem for the friendly and peaceful residents of Kabul.

On the 27th January 2018, at 11.15 am local time, a second deadly terrorist attack took place in the centre of Kabul, home to many government buildings and Embassies, leaving 95 dead and 158 injured.

The monstrous, cowardly terrorists, driving an ambulance loaded with a bomb, passed a police checkpoint, supposedly carrying a patient to a nearby hospital.   Then, they drove into a crowd of pedestrians, in Chicken Street, and detonated the bomb, bringing death, destruction and panic to so many innocent people.  The Taliban claimed responsibility for this barbarous attack.

What can the civilized world do to prevent such horrendous tragedies?
