Afghanistan school bombing death toll at 50

Kabul, Afghanistan -- It was as predictable as a virtue-signaling leftist using the word "racist" to describe a White person, especially if the leftist is White. Now that Biden has begun the withdrawal of our troops out of Afghanistan, the Taliban has begun the takeover and to show how religious they are, they bombed a girls' school in the capital, killing 50 children ages 11 to 15 years old. 

It was predictable.

The number of wounded is over 100, said Tariq Arian, Interior Ministry spokesman.

There were three bombs planted outside the school entrance and they were set off as the children were leaving for the day. The Taliban denied responsibility and condemned the attack, but the mostly Shi'ite neighborhood points to the Sunni terrorists.

The first explosion was from a vehicle packed with explosives. This was followed by two more, Arian said, adding that casualties could still rise.

Saturday's attack was one of the worst the capital has experienced as criticism over the substantial decrease in security has begun as the U.S. and NATO are almost fully gone from the Afghanistan.

The attack targeted Afghanistan's ethnic Hazaras who are in the majority in the western Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood, where the bombings occurred. 

Most Hazaras are Shiite Muslims, while the Taliban is exclusively Sunni. But thus far, no one has claimed responsibility for the killing of young girls whose only crime was to get an education, an endeavor seen as haram [forbidden] to radical Islamic groups.

The radical Sunni Muslim group has declared war on Afghanistan’s Shi'ites.

Washington blamed Islamic State for a barbaric attack last year in a maternity hospital in the same area that killed pregnant women and newborn babies. These are savages and they need to be destroyed--every last one of them.

Soon after the bombing, angry crowds attacked ambulances and health workers as they tried to evacuate the wounded, Health Ministry spokesman Ghulam Dastigar Nazari said. He begged residents to cooperate and allow ambulances free access to the site.

Bloodied backpacks and schools books were strewn outside the Syed Al-Shahda school. 

In a statement following the attack, the EMERGENCY Hospital said the first three months of this year has seen a 21 per cent increase in war-wounded.

It was predictable.

BAHDAHBING! Hezbollah arms depot blows up in Lebanon

Beirut -- Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Shi'ite Muslim terror group used to have an arms depot in the southern part of Lebanon. But on Tuesday, it exploded in a glorious flash and bang that injured several people. [H/T Reuters]

The security source told Reuters the arms depot blast, which sent a huge column of black smoke into the sky, was caused by a “technical error," aka: total screwup.

The blast shook Ain Qana in south Lebanon, which is a political stronghold of heavily armed group whose sport is fighting the Jews in Israel.

This recent blast has further shaken the country after its worse crisis since the 1975-1990 civil war and since the enormous Beirut port explosion that killed 190 people in the capital on August 4th of this year.

Since the port blast, subsequent fires in the area and elsewhere around Beirut have broken out and caused panic there and across the country. Also, the country's economy is in a tailspin while those in political power have not yet come to terms with how they plan to form a new government, while trying to convince the Western World that things are honky-dory.

After the Beirut explosion, the government resigned rather than being mobbed, stoned and ultimately beheaded--it was a no-brainer.

Forming the new cabinet has hit a brick wall as Hezbollah and its main Shi’ite ally have demanded they name the finance and some other ministers.

Another security source told Reuters that Hezbollah had set up a security cordon around the recent blast site, about 30 miles south of Beirut, but the press were not allowed to approach the area due to whatever it is they have to hide.

Hezbollah had nothing to say publicly about the blast and their television channel, (which in this case is not associated with Al Gore's Al Jazeera) claimed in a newscast that the cause of the blast was not clear.

Security sources said there were several injuries without giving figures, so the number would probably range from 2 to 2,564. You never know the truth with Hezbollah.

A witness near the village said he felt the ground shake, rattle and he rolled on out of there as quickly as he could.

Video from the Al-Jadeed broadcast showed men walking around the scorched area littered with debris and damage to a house nearby showed the floor covered in glass and what appeared to be spilled ketchup or some other similar substance in a pool.

At least one fire was still burning in the location, the footage showed and people spoke in a foreign language.

Beirut: huge explosion kills at least 10, injures dozens more

A massive explosion in Beirut's city center has killed at least 10 people, injured dozens more, and shattered windows in the area. The damage is widespread across Lebanon's capital.

The cause of the blast is still unknown according to Lebanese security and Lebanese Red Cross workers posted on Twitter that more than 30 of their teams were responding via ambulances to the scene.

Area residents report that windows have been blown out, balconies have collapsed and there is widespread destruction that extends for miles, even the airport which is about six miles from the blast site.

One anonymous witness [we'll call him Mohammad] told Reuters, “I saw a fireball and smoke billowing over Beirut. People were screaming and running, bleeding. Balconies were blown off buildings. Glass in high-rise buildings shattered and fell to the street.”

"We are aware of the explosion and are concerned for the potential loss of life due to such a massive explosion," Capt. Bill Urban, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said in a statement to Fox News.

The cause of the blast is under investigation but Hezbollah is already in the limelight, multiple intelligence sources told Fox News.

“There are cars with dead people in the streets under rubble, and the medical infrastructure was already at full speed due to the pandemic and lack of supplies,” one source in the region said

Lebanon’s Health Minister Hamad Hasan told local broadcaster LBC that the explosion had caused a “very high number of injuries” and extensive damage.

An AP photographer near the port saw people wounded on the ground and widespread destruction in central Beirut. Some local televisions stations reported the blast originated inside an area where firecrackers were stored.

According to the BBC, the event occurred just days before a UN tribunal is expected to issue a verdict on four alleged Hezbollah terrorists accused of killing former Lebanon PM Rafic Hariri in a 2005 car bombing along Beirut's seafront.

Some reports said there might have been a second blast Tuesday across the city near the Hariri family residence.
