ISIS kills 30, wounds 50 in Kabul hospital attack
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-39202525

Quote:More than 30 people have been killed after attackers dressed as doctors stormed the largest military hospital in Kabul, Afghan officials say.

Militants armed with guns and grenades gained entry after one detonated explosives at a hospital gate and then opened fire on staff and patients.

Commandos who landed on the Sardar Daud hospital roof killed all four attackers after several hours of fighting.

The so-called Islamic State (IS) group has claimed the attack.

The Taliban has denied any involvement.

More than 50 people were also wounded, the defence ministry said.

Quote:The attack began at 09:00 local time (04:30 GMT). One hospital staff member who was able to get out saw an attacker "wearing a white coat holding a Kalashnikov and opening fire on everyone, including the guards, patients and doctors".

One employee wrote on Facebook: "Attackers are inside the hospital. Pray for us."

TV pictures showed people hiding from the gunmen on ledges outside windows on upper floors of the building.

Quote:BBC Afghan's Inayatulhaq Yasini says that, if this is confirmed an IS attack, it would be the first time its jihadists had used the Taliban-style tactic of first blowing the gates and then sending another group of attackers into the targeted building.

It would also show, he says, that despite the Afghan government's claim that IS is on back foot, its militants are increasing their ability to carry out high-profile attacks that require a lot of planning and resources.

I wasn't aware that the fighting was over in Mosul. Do you have a link?

And not sure what that has to do with ISIS attacking a hospital in Afghanistan. You are aware that Iraq and Afghanistan are two separate countries right?

Well aware...just seems like you're trying to promote an agenda of fear of ISIS coming to america instead of looking at the big picture. That's all.

Well if that's the perception you have then that's on you, not me. I hardly see how creating a post about such a massive attack in Afghanistan does that but it's not the first hair-brained idea you've had on here.
