    Bomb Blast Claimed by ISIS Kills at Least 15 in Pakistan Mosque Used by Taliban

    Doesn't get better than this

    LAHORE, Pakistan — A bomb blast inside a mosque in southwestern Pakistan, believed to be frequented by senior Taliban figures, killed at least 15 people on Friday and wounded at least 18 more, according to police officials.

    Several of the wounded were in critical condition, and hospital authorities feared the death toll could climb further.

    Fighting over the same territory. Another paradise where so many have given so much for so little.

    I think he is saying ISIS killing Taliban and vice-versa is a good thing. I agree!

    Agreed. I just can't figure out what it is about that place and culture that makes you want to fight forever over some 3rd world basket case. And it aint just the nuts who live there. My blissful ignorance.

    Definitely. Self-imposed death sentences amongst these two groups please me as well.

    This is a microcosm of why thoughts that this is what all Muslim should be left/encourage to do in general, and if history is a guide, it is what they will do. I have no idea what beef the homicidal ISIS has with the homicidal Taliban, nor do I really care, as long as they kill each other. Consider it a form of pest control. I await the retaliation.
