‘Tonight We Celebrate in Style’: Taliban Puts on Fireworks Show After U.S. Departure
Taliban terrorists organized a fireworks display over Kabul in the early morning hours of Tuesday to celebrate the departure of the last American troops from the country, allegedly for the foreseeable future.
Jihadists in the streets of the capital also celebrated with widespread shouting and gunfire, causing so much noise that Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid issued a statement urging civilians not to panic about the “shots of joy” ringing throughout Kabul.
“Our country gained full independence. Praise be to Allah,” Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said in a statement on Twitter. “Heart-felt congratulations to all countrymen!”
“Tonight we celebrate in style,” the deputy leader of the Taliban “cultural commission,” Ahmadullah Wasiq, said from a Twitter account followed and shared by official spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.

The “style” was largely the takeover of Kabul’s international airport following the last American plane’s departure and a subsequent fireworks display.
