In pictures: The bloody aftermath of airport attacks

Kabul is reeling from two explosions at the city's airport on Thursday, which killed some 90 people, including 13 US military personnel.

At least 150 people were also wounded in the attacks, which the Islamic State group says it carried out.

Taliban fighters have been guarding the scene, which is strewn with discarded clothing and bags.

  1. And all this carnage is BEFORE the free bodyguard services provided by the Allied forces leave. Imagine what will happen AFTER they leave?

    But now everybody must go home, they have tried their best to help for 20 years. So Sayonara Kabul. Good Luck.

    Note: 5000 yo Bullyland's Kabul Embassy seems to be open as usual and their Foreign Ministry have nice things to say about Taliban just two days ago. So from Sept 1 onwards try knocking on their door.

    SCMP: A spokesman for the Political Office of the Taliban in Qatari capital Doha tweeted on August 24 that the Taliban delegation met with Chinese ambassador and others in Kabul. Do you have more information on that?

    Wang Wenbin: China and the Afghan Taliban have smooth and effective communication and consultation. Kabul is naturally an important platform and channel for the two sides to discuss various important matters.

    I want to stress that China's policy toward Afghanistan is consistent and clear. We always respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Afghanistan, follow the principle of non-interference in Afghanistan's internal affairs and adhere to a friendly policy toward the entire Afghan people. China respects the Afghan people's independent choice of their own future, supports the implementation of the "Afghan-led and Afghan-owned" principle, and stands ready to continue to develop good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation with Afghanistan and play a constructive role in Afghanistan's peace and reconstruction.

    1. So in yr f*cked opinion, WHO is lefting behind to hold fort for those Afghans with the governing Taliban?

      Maybe the current shown restraints of Taliban have a lot to do with the presence of Russia/China in Kabul!

      But that would turn yr petrified neurons into dust.

    A day after announcing that it will provide financial aid to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, a Chinese diplomat met members of the terrorist outfit in Afghanistan on Tuesday. A Taliban spokesperson said that Abdul Salam Hanafi, the deputy head of the Taliban's political office in Qatar, met the Chinese Ambassador to Afghanistan Wang Yu in Kabul to discuss the security of the Chinese embassy and its diplomats.

    Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik quoted Taliban spokesperson Mohammed Naeem and confirmed the meeting.

    "They discussed the security of the Chinese embassy and diplomats, the current situation in Afghanistan, bilateral relations and China's humanitarian assistance," Sputnik reported.

    Even as chaos unfurled in Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, after the country fell to Talibani terrorists, China has kept its embassy open. Meanwhile, other countries are currently scrambling to evacuate foreign nationals and their Afghan allies. In an earlier report, it was stated that Beijing was willing to recognise the Taliban as the legitimate ruler of Afghanistan after it toppled Ashraf Ghani's democratically elected government in Kabul....

    ....Earlier on Tuesday, China announced that it will provide financial aid to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan while slamming the United States and alleging it of being the 'main perpetrator' of the crisis in the country. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin remarked that Chinese financial aid will help play a 'positive role' for the country. In addition, Beijing has also committed to play a role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. It stated that the country will help Afghanistan in 'self-capacity building....
