The terrorist attack in Kabul. The main goal - General Dostum

58
Another terrorist attack occurred in the capital of Afghanistan. The explosive device was activated near the international airport of Kabul, according to the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country Najib Danish. According to him, the bomb was fixed on the body of a suicide bomber. As a result of the explosion, at least 11 people died, dozens were injured of varying degrees of severity. Among the wounded are children.


At the same time it is known who this terrorist attack was directed against. According to the Afghan media, the terrorist blew up the suicide belt on the route of the motorcade, which included a car of the country's vice president, well-known far beyond the borders of Afghanistan, General Abdul-Rashid Dostum. General Dostum arrived in Kabul by charter from the capital of Turkey. In Ankara, he lived since May 2017, due to political friction with other representatives of the Afghan authorities.

Abdul-Rashid Dostum (1997 photo of the year)


In recent years, Dostum has acted as one of the most active Afghan politicians who are fighting ISIS (* banned in the Russian Federation). He himself repeatedly participated in the anti-Igil operations in the north of Afghanistan.

According to Dostum himself, who arrived in Afghanistan after a long absence, he heard an explosion at the moment when his car left the Hamid Karzai airport along with the escort vehicles. Dostum said that his opponents in Afghanistan are still strong, and he personally, with the support of the Afghan people, is ready to fight those who bring chaos to the Afghan land.

        A couple of years ago, he defeated the IS detachments on the Turkmen border. And he asked only for armament and BC to him in order to cope with the Taliban and the IG.
        In the Northern Alliance, he also played a significant role in the fight against the Taliban. For a couple of months they were thrown back to Vizaristan.
        It is true that he was returned to Afghanistan - it is not for us to send troops there. hi

            Tajiks in Afghanistan are about 30% of the total population, and Uzbeks are about 5% ... Now Ahmad Shah Masoud is his nephew, but he lacks weapons and ammunition because of agreements with NATO to ban the supply of illegal armed groups. Therefore, the Taliban cleaned 60-70% of the territories - something needs to be done in this regard. Apparently Dostum arrived for these purposes. hi

              At the end of the 80s of the last century, Tajiks had about 20% of the population of Afghanistan. Perhaps in recent times there have been more. Yes, Masood was a magnitude - this is a comment on the previous comrade.

            It is enough to arm the Uzbeks and Tajiks and return the Northern Alliance to combat readiness. I recall the beginning of the century when they threw the Taliban into Vizaristan - there is no need for more - and put them at the negotiating table. You can support the aircraft and give heavy weapons to the North. To the Alliance.
            Nobody is going to arrange the Pashtun genocide, but it will be possible to bring the Pashtun Taliban to their senses. hi

          Dostum was vice president of Afghanistan and represented the Northern Alliance in government.
          What difference does it make to us, who is he by nationality, if only he fights with barmaley ?! That's what I meant. Behind him is the force that is respected in Afghanistan ... In October 2015. was in Grozny with Kadyrov and asked for help from the Russian Federation.
          It is interesting that he left for Turkey, and not for his historical homeland. They started to push him after ISIS swept away in the north and began to ask for weapons and ammunition from us. And behind this (link) are most likely “partners”.
          Many people think that the IS is sending "unidentified" helicopters north to carry out military provocations against Turkmenistan. But in my opinion, we are talking about Iran (terrorist attack the other day) and the smuggling of powder. IG paid from 200 dollars. up to 500 dollars. for joining their banner. In 16g. the number of IG in the north increased from several hundred to 6 thousand people. Iran strengthens the borders with Afghanistan and is well spent there - the border in many places is transparent with them.
          Also, the activities of the IMU (Islamic movement of Uzbekistan) and Hizbut Tahrir in Afghanistan cannot be forgotten. hi

Of course, fantasy ..but not at the command of Turkey, he came, maybe at Erdogan, through intelligence agencies, is there some kind of agreement with the political forces of Afghanistan? .. Well, not the North of Afghanistan, Dostum returned to rule .. By the way, Turkey, taking Afghanistan under its influence, gets even closer to the Central Asian republics .. Moreover. that Erdogan has long imagined himself to be the Turkish padish of the new Ottoman Empire ...

Americans because of the pro-Turkish orientation. His return to Afghanistan, personally, is a big mistake for him. He had already been "played out" once, under Najibullah. But he "twisted".

        The Ottoman Empire did not "extend" so far. But the fact that the Turks “sniffed” with the Uzbeks is suspicious. They have a common "story" of course. But the Americans will definitely put an end to any story. If it touches their interests. And there is one interest: “dope” for Russia.

    Dostum stated that his opponents in Afghanistan are still strong, and he personally, with the support of the Afghan people ready to fight those who bring chaos to Afghan soil.
    It seems that Dostum was going to extinguish the Americans, because all the chaos from them.

    Afghanistan is a beautiful country. And she is beautiful in that she shows that even with full control from the United States and the US military at every corner, happiness, satiety and wealth do not come. Whatever our "liberals" say. And no matter how the Europeans from Ukraine were striving for this. But from the experience of communication, such examples cannot convince them. They are ready to prove with foam at the mouth that fools live in the country from the given example. And then they will succeed as in their dreams.
