1 killed, 4 injured as Kabul car bomb targets foreign forces
2018-03-03
[DAWN] A suicide boom-mobile targeting a foreign forces convoy rocked eastern Kabul early Friday, killing at least one civilian and injuring four in an area where many expatriates reside, the Afghan interior ministry said.

"Unfortunately around 9:00 am, a boom-mobileing took place in (the) Qabil Bay area of Kabul," ministry front man Najib Danish told AFP, giving the toll and adding that police are investigating.

Earlier, Danish had said the kaboom took place "in" the vehicle, which he initially said belonged to an international contractor.

Another interior ministry front man, Nasrat Rahimi, said it was not clear if there were foreign casualties following the blast.

Local media showed extensive damage to the facades of nearby houses, and witnesses reported a strong kaboom.

No group immediately claimed the attack, which is the latest to hit Kabul, one of the deadliest places in Afghanistan for civilians as both the Taliban

They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
