Fertilizer can be used to make explosives, but NDS officials called the fertilizer itself “explosives”. Afghan defense minister Bismillah Khan Mohammadi is asking U.S. led NATO to attack Pakistan! He claims Pakistan hit Kunar and Nuristan provinces with more than 5-thousand artillery rounds over the past two years. The U.S. taxpayer funded internet service Paywast just launched a healthcare call center. What’s significant is that earlier this year the New York Times reported the USAID funded operation has failed, due to lack of funding. Apparently the internet (social media) company is alive and well and still being funded by U.S. taxpayers. Paywast was created in 2011, through a U.S. Department of State order, and is actually overseen by a U.S. operation known as UStronics. “If you ask Afghans how they feel about USAID funding a specific project, they laugh and tell you that the road under their feet was also funded by the Americans, because most things are. U.S. involvement is the default assumption here.”-unnamed Afghan official interviewed by ThinkProgress

01 – 04 September 2014: Islamic State shows up in Afghanistan
Iran announced they’ve captured U.S. and Arabian created Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL) militants while they were crossing the Afghan border into Iran. Iranian officials say the Agahan and Pakistani IS militants were trying to sneak across Iran to join IS gangs in Syria and Iraq.
The Obama regime lied (or at least the U.S. news media lied) about an airliner being “forced” to land inside Iran. The Dubai airliner left Bagram airbase but for some reason ran low on fuel and decided to fly through Iranian airspace to save fuel. Iran asked the crew to make an emergency landing, because Iranian officials found the crew’s explanation for violating Iran’s airspace suspicious. Iran refueled the plane and it continued on its way. By the way, there were 100 U.S. citizens on the plane. Suspicious.
