It seems the Taliban have a real interest in preventing the upcoming elections from taking place. They seem to stop at nothing to distract the attention from the upcoming elections. 5 people were killed in Kabul when gunmen disguised as police officers entered a guesthouse. There was a battle between the gunmen and U.N. security forces, and Afghan police. The Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid said three brave holy warriors carried out the attack. He claims there will be many more to come, which seems that they will stop at nothing to prevent the elections. During the first round of voting some of the polling places had rockets launched at it, and the voting was disrupted. Some people even had their fingers cut off after leaving the polls. In some areas in Afghanistan it is too dangerous for voting to even take place so the polls will not open in those areas. Some officials say that the second set of voting will have much more security and the attempts will not succeed like the first time. It seems that security measures need to peak at a all time high to avoid any more innocent lives from being lost.
The Taliban seem to stop at nothing to succeed in their mission of ruining the elections. These people care nothing about human lives or any other causalities as they strike prominent areas that are heavily populated. Fortunately enough that only 5 lives were lost on this attack instead of more. Although any life lost recklessly is unfortunate. These upcoming elections will prove to be historic in many different ways. Hopefully the security will try to be one step ahead of the Taliban who seem to already have their dooms day plan into affect. The people of this country are suffering in more ways than one. Hopefully things will get better instead of worse.
