Explosion rocks Jalalabad city in East of Afghanistan
[Khaama Press] An kaboom rocked the Jalalabad city, the quiet provincial capital of eastern NangarharThe unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province of Afghanistan. A security official confirmed that a jacket wallah detonated his explosives close to the residence of a security official. The official further added that the information received by him shows that 6 people were killed and 8 others were maimed in the attack. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... the provincial public health officials are saying that the dead bodies of at least eight people have been shifted to the hospital so far along with 15 others who have sustained injuries. Eyewitnesses in the area earlier had said that the blast was triggered by a suicide kaboom and there are fears that several people are either maimed or killed. No individual or group has so far grabbed credit behind the incident. Nangarhar is among the relatively calm provinces in East of Afghanistan although terrorist related incidents often take place in some of its districts including the quiet provincial capital Jalalabad city. The Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... turbans and ISIS loyalists are active in some of the remote districts of the province from where they attempt to carry out terrorist related activities.
