[Khaama] A small child was killed in an kaboom triggered by the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in 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 government media office in a statement said the incident took place on Wednesday in the vicinity of Khogyani district.

The statement further added that an Improvised Explosive Device planted by the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
snuffies went off Aabko area, leaving the 4-year-old child dead.

The anti-government armed Lion of Islam groups including the Talibs have not commented regarding the report so far.

The anti-government armed Lion of Islam groups frequently use explosives materials for the roadside kaboomings and boom-mobileings to target the government staff and security personnel.

However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
in majority of such incidents the ordinary civilians are targeted besides such bombings incur casualties to the security personnel and in some cases the Talibs themselves are killed or maimed.
