Five Killed in Five Attacks in Jalalabad
[ToloNews] Jalalabad city in the eastern province of 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..
witnessed five security incidents on Wednesday morning.

Four explosions in different parts of the city took the lives of two people and injured three others, eyewitnesses told TOLOnews.

Those maimed have been transferred to the hospital in the provincial center.

In the meantime, a button men attack in an area near a base of the border forces of the former government resulted in three people killed.

No details have been obtained on the intended target of the attacks.

The head of the information and culture department of Nangarhar province said all those killed and maimed were civilians and no Taliban
...Arabic for students...
forces were harmed in the attack.

So far, no group has grabbed credit for the earth-shattering kabooms or attack by button men.

Earlier this week, however, ISIS grabbed credit for previous explosions in Nangarhar.

ISIS also grabbed credit for the earth-shattering kabooms outside Kabul airport in August.

The attacks follow repeated statements by Zabihullah Mujahid, deputy minister for the Ministry of Information and Culture, that ISIS movements in Afghanistan are not at a scale that could pose a security threat.

Mujahid has also said that Taliban forces have the capability to counter ISIS.
