| An explosion rocked Kabul province earlier today leaving at least one person dead and three others wounded, security officials said. The incident took place around 6:30 am local time in Bagrami district after an explosive device planted in an army vehicle went off in Hussain Khel area. The district police chief Mohammad Ayoub confirmed that one person was killed and three others were wounded in an explosion that targeted a Ranger vehicle of the Afghan army. No group including the Taliban militants has so far claimed responsibility behind the incident. This comes as at least five policemen lost their lives in a similar attack in the outskirts of Kabul late on Friday evening. The provincial governor’s spokesman for Logar province Salim Saleh said the commander of the Public Order Police forces was killed along with four others as they were travelling on a highway to Kabul. Earlier two were killed and two others were wounded after a magnetic bomb planted in a vehicle went off in Kote Sangi area of the city. One of the victims was the head of the Human Resources department of the Afghan parliament who was travelling in the vehicle. |
