Five Killed, Five Wounded In Suicide Attack

RIP to the dead. The biggest problem Afghanistan faces from the Taliban is ideological. As long as they keep hosting large foreign troops, the Taliban will quickly recruit new brands of fighters to replace the dead ones. The recruitment of the Taliban through the ideology of 'Jihad' (to drive the foreign invaders off their land) is getting stronger than ever, & Afghanistan will keep facing this problem. The biggest danger is, it is quite evident that the Taliban still effectively control more than half the country, & the ANF/ANP will not be strong enough to handle them by themselves once the foreign troops leave.
