Afghan base attack: More than 140 feared dead in Taliban raid

By Ehsan Popalzai, Jason Hanna and Joe Sterling, CNN - Sun April 23, 2017

(CNN)The Taliban's deadly raid Friday on a northern army base that killed or wounded more than 100 people was revenge for the deaths of two of its officials in the region, a spokesman for the group told CNN.

As many as 140 people may have been killed in the attack, sources close to the situation told CNN. The sources are officials who requested anonymity so as not to interfere with the Ministry of Defense or Ministry of Interior, which are responsible for reporting official tolls.

Most of the soldiers on base were unarmed.

Gun control kills.

US drops MOAB on a bunch of dirt and rocks, US allies suffer on base massacre.

Regular day pretty much.

I thought the U.S was finished with Afghanistan, and it was all just going to chug along as a local squabble; I mean stirring up the hornets next again doesn't seem terribly wise or necessary.
