| [Tolo News] At least two non-combatants were killed and nineteen others were maimed in two roadside kaboom blasts in eastern Nangarhar province on Monday, local officials said. The kaboom occurred in Jalalabad city of Nangarhar wounding 19 civilians who were rushed to the governmental hospital, officials in the hospital said. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, a front man for governor of Nangarhar said the first blast happened at 11:00 am local time and the second at 11:30 am near Eidgah mosque in the city. Mr Abdulzai said two people were killed in the first blast, but there is no report about any deaths caused by the second kaboom. No group has grabbed credit for the bombings. Insurgents usually use Improvised Explosive Devices to target Afghan and foreign forces, but civilians are often the main victims. |
