2016-02-04
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Two bombs went kaboom! a few hours apart from each other in Nangarhar
The 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..
and Khost province
... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name...
on Wednesday.

The first one which was a landmine went kaboom! on a Ford Ranger vehicle leaving two people maimed in Behsood District of Nangarhar province.

Ataullah Khogyani, spokesperson for the governor of Nangarhar province said the Ford Ranger was on its way to the capital city Jalalabad when it struck landmine in Samarkhil area.

The victims are security guards of the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).

The second blast was caused by a magnetic bomb in the capital city of Khost province which left one person maimed.

No group has grabbed credit for the kabooms.
