Explosion in a house leaves 2 civilians dead in Jalalabad city
2017-05-17
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least two non-combatants were killed in an kaboom in Jalalabad city, the placid provincial capital of eastern 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..
province of Afghanistan.

The provincial governor’s front man Ataullah Khogyani confirmed that the blast took place inside a house belonging to an individual identified as Habibullah.

Khogyani further added that the house is located in the first police district of the city and the incident took place after explosives material went off inside the compound.

He said at least two non-combatants were killed as a result of the kaboom.

The circumstances surrounding the incident have not been ascertained so far as the local security officials are saying that an investigation is underway in this regard.
Just whipping up some C4 for dinner, maybe?
It is yet not clear if the individual had any links with the anti-government armed bad boy groups or not.

The anti-government armed bad boy groups have not commented regarding the report so far.

#2  Another case of defective detonator caps, perhaps? (Non-combatant just means the corpse wasn't wearing a uniform, right?)
