VIDEO from the Islamic seminary in Kabul where a suicide bomber blew up in the room of Rahimullah Haqqani, killing him. People can be heard crying in the background. #Afghanistan
Rahimullah Haqqani was an important pro-Taliban ideologue and was pretty well known in Pakistan too. There have been multiple attacks against him in the past too, which he survived. He was a critic of ISKP.
Celebrations in pro-ISKP channels following Rahimullah Haqqani's death. Worth noting that he was not just a critic of ISKP but also a strong opponent of the Salafist ideology.
Ok so that's the dead body of the suicide bomber. His legs are completely blown off. Rest of the body intact but charred.
So, Taliban sources say that the suicide bomber was handicapped and had explosives hidden in his plastic artificial leg. This explains why we don't see his legs in the photos. Taliban sources say he entered the seminary to meet Rahimullah Haqqani and then detonated. #Kabul
Taliban spox Bilal Karimi officially confirmed the event.

So like I said before, it's quite likely that the attack on Rahimullah Haqqani included some insider help. Now some Taliban sources are claiming that his driver might be involved in the plot. Very interesting.

Frankly, I don't really approve of the whole message of intersectional feminists. I think some of it is really stupid and misguided. So I mostly ignore them.
If you don't like something, ignore it. But don't resort to bans and crackdowns. You're displaying your own weakness.
