If they do, this may embolden other countries, specifically America, who have a reputation for anti-terrorism efforts, to take action to help expell the Taliban. What the Taliban want, and they have already succeeded with, is to create fear of them within Afghanistan. Their message to the Afghan people is \u2018I am here\u2019 and \u2018I have power over you.\u2019 This power play of targeting the government building was a bold move, but because of their plan not being completely successful, the perpetrators didn\u2019t make it inside the building, the Taliban may be reluctant to admit responsibility for a failed mission, although the psychological torment of the attack will remain no matter what.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/south-asia\/at-least-15-killed-in-east-afghanistan-car-bomb-attack\/articleshow\/78461834.cms After a car bomb attack targeted at a government building in east Afghanistan, 15 are dead, and more than 30 wounded.
