Story continues below advertisementThe attack, which fell on the eighteenth anniversary of the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S., sent a sizable plume of smoke into the air over the Afghan capital of Kabul, The Associated Press reported.
The outlet reported that loud sirens could be heard from the scene and embassy employees were briefed on the attack via loudspeaker announcement which said, “An explosion caused by a rocket has occurred on compound.”
Within an hour it was determined that there were no casualties from the explosion and an all-clear was given.
The AP also indicated this was the first major attack in the city since President Donald Trump called off peace talks with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Taliban leaders at Camp David.

There is absolutely NO POINT in being in the middle east. They don’t appreciate lives maimed and lost for their freedom. ISIS was eliminated in Syria but ISIS or another group with the same goals will pop up again and again. They don’t want freedom or our style of government. They are happy to take our money and rebuild their country but that is about it. Islam rules in the middle east and they HATE the west. We should not be taking in ANY Muslims from anywhere in the world. ISLAM is the problem.
There is absolutely NO POINT in being in the middle east. They don’t appreciate …
There is quite a bit of POINT to “being in” the Middle East. Whether or not they “appreciate” us is quite beside the point. Ever hear of a commodity known as petroleum oil? A sudden collapse of oil exports from the Middle East would wreck havoc on the eonomies of much of the world. As hideous as the House of Saud is, it is not in American interests to have it overthrown by ISIS or subdued by Iran (even if the latter might be poetic justice). Your breezy NO POINT fails to consider the many interests we, and the industrialized world, have in that area of the world. You evidence exactly the kind of blinkered, unreflective thinking I would expect of a shallow mind like yours.
Islam rules in the middle east and they HATE the west.
An overly broad statement. Moreover, you never specified who “they” are. In the real world, beyond that of your puerile thinking, you rarely have the opportunity to deal only with those who LIKE you. Sheesh.
ordinary islam
Just use drones. and leave a residual force.
Bring the troops home quietly and replace them with air and the new land drones and super tanks being developed. No need to make announcements or DEADLINES. Let the Jihadis fight a robot war. let them fight automation.
Liberals hate drones.
It’s one of the achilles heels of jihadis. because drones don’t bleed.
