News of the Day for Sunday, February 24, 2013
Today in Afghanistan Suicide car bombing at a facility of the National Directorate of Security in Jalalabad kills 2, injures 3. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claims responsibility.
Elsewhere, suicide attack on a police outpost in Logar province results in the death of one officer, while a separate, apparently coordinated attack nearby results in the death of another officer and a civilian.
Attempted sucide bombing near NDS HQ in Kabul is thwarted. (This story says the Logar attacks resulted in woundings, not deaths, but deaths are often confirmed after initial accounts emerge.)
Interior ministry says 17 Taliban killed in operations in past 24 hours. (As I have noted before, that number of approximately 17 seems to pertain just about every day. — C) “[T]he Taliban issued a rebuttal statement in which they “strongly rejected” the Ministry of Interior’s updates on Taliban casualties.”
NATO considering plan to sustain Afghan national army at 352,000 through 2018. The United States would pay for the bulk of the country’s military budget, at $5.7 billion a year, while Afghanistan would contribute $500 million and other NATO allies $300 million. (But we can’t afford the National Institutes of Health or heating assistance for the elderly poor. — C)
Iran is reported to have executed approximately 80 Afghan civilians by hanging in the past six months, over opium smuggling charges, and to have many more in custody, hundred under sentence of death.
