Two of the most powerful weapons ever invented, religious indoctrination and the magical 2nd life fantasy, made it possible for a child to murder 7 people and ruin the lives of 22 other people.

This is from the Wall Street Journal. Since most people would not be able to read it because they are not subscribers to this newspaper I will copy & paste the whole disgusting thing. A boy, age 14 or younger, is totally dead as are his numerous victims. All thanks to the moronic Allah, God, Zeus fantasy. Drop dead Muslim scum.

This is interesting: “Security officials are easily bribed with cash to allow the Taliban or Islamic State to go wherever they want with bombs and explosives,” Mr. Muzhda said.

Wall Street Journal: Suicide Bomb Attack in Afghan Capital Kills at Least Seven People. Islamic State claims responsibility for blast in fortified diplomatic quarter in Kabul; 22 people are injured.

KABUL—A teenage suicide bomber blew himself up in the heavily fortified diplomatic quarter of Kabul on Tuesday, killing at least seven people in an attack that deepened concerns about the ability of the Afghan government to secure even the most heavily guarded area of the capital.

Islamic State claimed responsibility for the suicide attack, which occurred during afternoon rush hour near the Australian diplomatic mission and less than a half-mile from the U.S. Embassy and the military headquarters of the U.S. and its European allies in Afghanistan.

Afghan officials didn’t identify the dead and 22 others injured in Tuesday’s bombing. A photo taken in the initial moments after the bombing and later disseminated on social media shows security guards, under a cloud of smoke, loading the body of a victim into the back of an ambulance.

Nearby lay the bodies of two men in what appear to be military uniforms and the twisted metal remains of three bicycles.

Police late Tuesday were continuing to investigate how the suicide bomber, believed by authorities to be between the age of 12 to 14, managed to evade detection, despite additional security measures put in place after a sewage disposal truck packed with 14,000 pounds of explosives detonated near Germany’s embassy on May 31, killing more than 150 people and wounding more than 400 others.

The street where Tuesday’s attack took place has checkpoints at both ends that are manned by government and private security personnel.

Whatever the outcome of the police investigation, it was unlikely to ease concerns over the ability of the government of President Ashraf Ghani to protect representatives of the foreign governments and aid organizations that it relies on for assistance.

Abdullah Abdullah, the government’s chief executive, told senior cabinet ministers on Monday that the country’s intelligence agencies needed to do more to prevent further attacks in Kabul.

Local media quoted an Interior Ministry spokesman as saying the ministry plans to enlarge checkpoints to “resist attacks and decrease casualties.”

Waheed Muzhda, a political analyst in Kabul, said corruption in government ministries, not porous intelligence, is the main reason for deteriorating security in the capital.

“Security officials are easily bribed with cash to allow the Taliban or Islamic State to go wherever they want with bombs and explosives,” Mr. Muzhda said.

Both Islamic State’s local affiliate and the Taliban, Afghanistan’s largest insurgency, have carried out attacks in Kabul in recent months, most notably the truck bombing in May and a mortar attack on Kabul’s international airport on Sept. 27, within hours of U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’s arrival for a meeting with top Afghan officials.

Mr. Muzhda said Afghanistan is suffering from the collapse of Islamic State’s self-declared caliphate in Syria and Iraq.

“It has lost lots of territory there and has been defeated,” he said. “Now, it wants to avenge its defeat here in Afghanistan.”

In a tacit acknowledgment after the May truck bombing that Kabul isn’t secure from attack, authorities here decided to expand the capital’s so-called Green Zone, which encompasses the site of Tuesday’s blast and is named after a similarly fortified area of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

When completed, the security zone will encompass nearly all Western embassies, major Afghan government ministries and the military headquarters of the U.S. and its European allies. Already, many streets in the zone are lined with 13-foot-high blast walls topped with razor wire.

The walls block entry and diffuse the blast waves from bombs, but they are powerless against outside attack.

One early morning last month, three rockets were fired into the Green Zone. Two of the rockets exploded near housing for U.S. and European military personnel. No one was injured.
