AP – 37 mins ago.....
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Two Afghan government sources say former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani has been killed in the capital Kabul.
Rabbani was head of the country's high peace council, which was set up by the Afghan government to work toward a political solution. However, it had made little headway since it was formed a year ago.
Rabbani was president of the Afghan government that preceded the Taliban. After he was driven from Kabul in 1996, he became the nominal head of the Northern Alliance, mostly minority Tajiks and Uzbeks, who swept to power in Kabul after the Taliban's fall. Rabbani is an ethnic Tajik.....snip~
Looks Like the Taliban have struck again. Thats 5 successful attacks now, and General Petraeus is not there to turn shit around this time. We need to get out of there. Screw-that shit-hole. Get our Troopers out now!
Even tho we know they will not do so.....one thing is for sure. The Taliban will not stop coming. We taught them this.
