Gunmen Storm American University

[kingblaze84]

At least 13 dead in that attack, 7 of them students, the others Afghan troops or police, many wounded. I wouldn't be surprised if ISIS was behind this, but it could be the Taliban or its allies too. The Afghan government lost another city to the Taliban tonight too, Taliban seem to be getting stronger and stronger.

Crazy.. only 40-50 years ago the US were backing and funding the Mujahideen ( that later became Taliban) against the soviet forces in Afghanistan.

a. it's a little more complicated than that (guys like Massoud didn't become Taliban; ISI was the group really giving THE TALIBAN direct funding)

b. 40-50 years ago?! this was the 1970s-1980s, man
