[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Another relatively heavy kaboom has been heard in Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
city earlier this evening, hours after a deadly attack left 28 dead and over 300 maimed.

The type of the kaboom is not clear so far which has reportedly taken place in the vicinity of Shahr-e-Naw area.

A security official confirmed that an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was planted inside a restaurant in Sherpoor area of the city.

No group has so far grabbed credit behind the incident.

This comes as at least 28 people were killed and 327 others were maimed after a jacket wallah detonated a vehicle packed with explosives in Pul-e-Mahmood Khan area of the city earlier today.

The kaboom triggered shootout between the Afghan cops and the remaining snuffies who had taken position inside a compound used by the elite security forces.
