Taliban Kill Five In Attacks On British Diplomats & Compounds

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

The Taliban attacked a British convoy on Thursday killing five people.

The homicide bomb attack focused on a vehicle from the British embassy and killed two embassy workers, one British and one Afghani.

The attack wounded at least 30 bystanders.

“I am deeply saddened to confirm that a British national civilian security team member and an Afghan national working for the embassy were killed in the incident,” Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said in a statement.

The blast was the first of the day.  A second blast a few hours later struck at a compound run by a contractor for the U.S. aid agency in the country.  It shook buildings throughout the diplomatic section of Kabul and was the start of an hour long shootout between terrorists and Afghani security forces.

A foreign national and two terrorists died in the second explosion.

There have been five major terrorist attacks by the Taliban this week.
