I would not be surprised if the terrorists had connections to #Afghanistan 🇦🇫 as the government has yet to bring the entire territory fully under their control.
But I would be surprised if #India 🇮🇳 was somehow directly involved as the latter has a military, special forces & nukes. Also, such actions would easily trigger another war, which neither side wants.

Deutschland hatte ihnen Hilfe versprochen, doch dann die Aufnahmezusage zurückgezogen: Hunderte Afghanen in Pakistan befürchten nun, abgeschoben zu werden. Und hat Deutschland sensible Informationen weitergegeben? Von P. Hornung.

Arooj Aftab: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert (quelque part entre le jazz indie et la musique trad)
@bortzmeyer Merci Stéphane. Un Tiny Desk Concert d'un nouveau style : il ne se passe plus dans le petit bureau / bibliothèque de la NPR mais dans une maison en cours de réhabilitation (un ancien couvent à Brooklyn) plus spacieux mais sans public. Un moment d'apaisement musical dans le contexte actuel. Je mets un lien Invidious en plus et je rajoute quelques tags musicaux.
