[An Nahar] Taliban kabooms killed at least eight people, including women and kiddies, in Afghanistan on Tuesday, officials said.
The interior ministry in Kabul confirmed the incident, saying three non-combatants were killed and five coppers were maimed. Hours earlier, a roadside kaboom destroyed a minibus in the central province of Wardak, killing five civilians, an official said. Provincial government front man Sahidullah Shahid said a mine went kaboom!under the minibus, killing five civilians, including women and kiddies. "Two others are injured," Shahid said. Four other passengers survived the kaboom in the restive province's Sayed Abad district, he said. Authorities blamed both attacks on the "enemies of Afghanistan", a phrase commonly used by Afghan officials to refer to Taliban and other thugs. On Monday, a roadside kaboom killed five people in northern Afghanistan and last week twin suicide kabooms killed 23 people in the south. | |
