The number of people who were killed in a militant attack on a maternity ward in the Afghan capital has risen to 24.

Mothers, newborn babies and nurses were among the victims. At least 16 people were injured, the health ministry said.

Tuesday's attack in Kabul prompted widespread condemnation. No group has said it carried it out.

In a second incident that day, a suicide bomber killed at least 32 people at a funeral in Nangarhar, in the east of the country.

Ya know, 5 minutes after the second plane hit the towers I advocated finding an unoccupied mountain in Afghanistan an' dropping a B61mod11 set at minimum yield an' tell them unless they bend our will. I continue to see merit in that plan.

There should have been two weapons used against two targets.
Both of their names start with "M".

Doing so would have sent "the proper message" to islam from The West.

I believe that would have been the first step towards... winning.
Instead of "going the other way" ... which we are doing.

Until Sock Monkey had 'em dismantled I was sayin' we should deploy a B53 targeted for the following coordinates: 21.3879 N, 39.8579 E. Woulda served the purpose.
