The #clash started when AFG forces were building new check posts in the area & Pakistani side prevented them."

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin confirmed that 5 #Chinese nationals were wounded in #Kabul Longan #Hotal attck.
As said by @paulybrown, the attackers (with weapons& explosives) stayed in the hotel before the attack (a big #security_failure). reuters.com/world/asia-pac… Image
Only foreigners were allowed to stay in Kabul Longan Hotel...
As reported by Reuters, Chinese Foreign Minister recommended #Chinese citizens and organisations to #leave #Afghanistan as soon as possible.
This is exactly what the ISKP attack was expected to achieve.
The #Taliban are failing on all fronts due to their totalitarian& odd regime.

#Taliban's Minister of Propagation of Virtue& Prevention of Vice, Minister of Justice, Minister of Foreign Affairs& Minister of Education, were also among those officials of the IEA who attended the Qisas event in Farah, where the family of a victim killed the murderer in public.
"The killer, Tajmir, son of Ghulam Sarwar, was a resident of Injil District of Herat, who on 12 Oct 2017, brutally stabbed& killed Mustafa son of Abdul Rahman, a resident of Farah's Pusht-e Koh District, and took away motorbike& a mobile phone of the victim with him," TB claimed.
Today's #Qisas in Farah City was the first "#Public_Execution" under the #Taliban 2.0 regime in #Afghanistan.
In recent few weeks, the Taliban started punishment of the convicts in public, including #floggings of women and men on charges of immorality in several provinces of AFG.

TB/Pro-TB sources: There was a civil lawsuit between 2 families& the IEA wanted to arrest some people, then the incident happened. ImageImageImageImage
Third Party/other sources:
Taliban went to a village on the outskirts of Nilli City, to arrest some locals over a #land_conflict between them, but they resisted and a clash happened. Some #Hazara TB (e.g. General Sadaqat), involved in the local conflicts, #provoked the incident. ImageImage

As God made me victorious against my rivals, I will go directly towards India for sightseeing (conquering).
When I conquer the India's territories, then I will go with flag and drum towards Iran (to conquer the country).
