    30 Taliban militants killed in explosion during bomb-making class

    30 Taliban militants killed in explosion during bomb-making class - NZ Herald

    At least 30 Taliban militants have died in Afghanistan after they blew themselves up during a bomb-making class.
    The Khaama Press News Agency said the fighters died when Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) they were learning to construct exploded inside a mosque, quoting a release from the Afghan Army's 209th Shaheen Corps.
    The blast happened on Saturday morning at a mosque in the village of Qultaq in the Dowlatabad district of Balkh province.
    The fighters included six foreign nationals.
    The bodies of the six foreigners could not be identified because of the extent of the damage caused by the explosion, the army statement revealed.
    The militants had gathered to learn techniques for making bombs and IEDS from the six foreigners, who were reportedly considered experts in the subject.

    So how did/do they know six foreign nationals were killed if the bodies were unrecognizable? And why would the Taliban want the publicize the event?

    Oh dear, the US and Saudi have lost all of these allied noble martyrs in their brave fight against the Houthi in Yemen, the Syrian government, and Libya. Words cannot express my sincere condolences.

    Like, if a bomb explodes in a mosque killing 30 people, does it make a sound?

    Prag was probably drawing from his expertise in the 'silent but deadly' there.

    He's talking using the same area.
