| 2016-05-25 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least four non-combatants were killed and five others were maimed in an kaboom in southern Kandahar province of Afghanistan, local officials said. The incident took place around 7 am local time in the vicinity of Shahwali Kot district targeting a vehicle of the civilians. Provincial governor’s front man Samim Khpolwak said a passenger mini van struck an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) planted by the bully boys. He said an investigation is underway regarding the incident and there are fears that the corpse count would rise. No group including the Talibs has so far grabbed credit behind the incident. The Taliban murderous Moslems and Lions of Islam belonging to the other holy warrior groups are frequently using Improvised Explosive Device (IED) as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces. The IEDs are the main contributors to the casualties of the Afghan cops but are also considered as a key factor in growing civilian casualties. At least 11 civilians belonging to a same family were killed in a similar attack in northern Baghlan province of Afghanistan last week. |
