2016-06-21
[NATION.PK] At least eight people were killed and 18 injured Monday morning when a cycle of violence bomb went kaboom! in a crowded market in Afghanistan’s northeastern Badakhshan province, local authorities said.

"Our initial information is eight people were martyred, and 18 others were maimed, all the victims are civilians," the Badakhshan provincial governor’s front man Naweed Froutan told AFP, adding that the corpse count is set to rise.

The district governor of Keshim, where the attack took place, gave a higher toll of at least ten killed and 30 maimed.

"It was a cycle of violence bomb kaboom inside a main market in Keshim district of Badakhshan province," Abdul Salam Paiman told AFP, adding that some of the maimed were at death's door and all had been taken to hospital.

No one has yet grabbed credit for the blast in the remote, mountainous province.

It was the second major attack to shake Afghanistan Monday. The Taliban grabbed credit for an earlier suicide kaboom in the capital Kabul

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....
