6.0 Quake Hits Afghanistan-Pakistan Border, Over 800 Killed

Breitbart-

One of the worst earthquakes in Afghanistan’s history struck the border region with Pakistan on Sunday, killing over 800 people and injuring at least 2,800 more.

The quake struck at 11:47 p.m. local time, centered about 17 miles northeast of the city of Jalalabad in Nangarhar province. According to the Taliban junta, most of the casualties occurred in neighboring Kunar province.

“Entire villages in Kunar province have been badly hit. And the government says emergency teams are being deployed from Kabul and nearby provinces. Officials here are pledging to use all available resources to rescue people and support affected families,” Al Jazeera News reported.

“Kunar is an impoverished and mountainous region. The houses there are very vulnerable, built of mud and rocks. So they would not be able to withstand this particular earthquake, given the fact that this was shallow. It also happened late in the night, when a lot of people were inside their homes,” noted Al Jazeera reporter Kamal Hyder. more

  1. I have to add “yikes!” to that number of people estimated killed, and as it is early is probably a very loose and low number. Not sure which is more difficult: urban or rural areas. While its not all mud huts and caves, the urban infrastructure was probably not designed for 6 on the Richter scale.

  2. “But Jerry Nadler can kill himself. Real humanitarian.”

    You idiot. This is Nadlers CHOICE. I’m not thinking these 800 people has much of one. Tee another one up fool. I love making a jack ass out of morons.

  3. I feel very bad for the women and children that the taliban does not allow to go to school. I have seen so many different guests on Shawn Ryan that detail how the filthy male animals rape young boys etc. it was also 2 weeks ago when they were running out of water and food in certain areas. Who knew that society works better when men and women are educated?

    So they blame everything on America the great Satan and the Jews. That thinking only allows for conquest of other peoples resources and assets while banning science within its culture
    Time to grow up taliban and literally learn to build. Rome and Greece did it thousands of years ago.
