| [Khaama] A roadside bomb blast has claimed four lives in the capital city of restive Helmand province. Officials say those killed include two policemen and two civilians. The bomb went off as police were on routine patrol in 3rd PD of Lashkargah this morning. No group has immediately claimed responsibility for the blast but Taliban have carried out this type of attacks targeting security forces in Helmand province in the past. This also comes amid heavy clashes between Taliban and security forces in parts of the southern province. The group lost at least 50 fighters, including a key commander Mullah Nasir, in Sangin District last week. Sediq Sediqi, spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior said during a press conference that Mullah Nasir was a close aide to the group’s supreme leader Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor. |
