Bombing destroys Afghan ISIS radio station
« on: February 02, 2016, 1648 UTC »
See the link in regards to the bombing of an ISIS or ISIL radio station "Voice of the Caliphate" as reported by the BBC.

I guess we should be happy that in North America all they do is fire you and send you home and not in a pine box.

I saw news of this story via the MT-Shortwave/Monitoring times blog, and I think my thought process ran something like 'Oh, thank goodness.'  Not that anyone *died*, because no thanks generally, but because the creeptastic station is off the air.  I still remember the initial post in this forum about it bringing terror to eastern Afghanistan.  Still makes me shudder.

I haven't heard from Haiji Al Fansoom in a while, may peace be upon him. The last time he checked in with me he was staying with his Kalasha in-laws in Pakistan and running a radio station that "makes horsey noises."

He was always crazy about Mr. Ed and Sarah Jessica Parker. A dangerous pursuit that will no doubt be the end of him.

Sarah wonders if someone could pass her the horsey sauce?  Thank you.

Aren't they both owned by KFC? Word in Kentucky he's head horsey sauce extractor. He doesn't use a machine, he drains those stallions the old fashioned way, by hand.
