| 2017-09-18 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] Around eighteen people were killed or maimed after an kaboom destroyed a mobile phone market in southeastern Khost province ... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... of Afghanistan. According to the local officials, the incident took place around noon time in the provincial Khost city. Provincial police chief Faizullah Ghairat confirmed the incident but put the corpse count to one person while confirming ten others were maimed in the kaboom. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... the provincial public health officials said at least four people were killed and thirteen others were maimed in the incident. In the meantime, provincial police chief said the incident took place after explosives planted inside the market went off. It is yet not clear who was the target of the kaboom and no individual or group has grabbed credit behind the attack yet. |
