| An explosion at an illegal bomb factory in the Afghan capital wounded at least six people, a spokesman for the NATO-led peacekeeping force said today. The blast in Kabul’s Afshah neighbourhood yesterday hurt three children, two women and a man, Commander Chris Henderson told reporters. He said police had arrested three men. ’’It is believed that the explosion occurred as the three men were assembling bombs.’’ Police said they were holding the father of the family, who had brought the bomb-making material from neighbouring Pakistan. ’’It is actually fortunate that the people assembling these explosive devices met with misadventure as their intended actions could easily have killed many innocent people,’’ Henderson said. |
