| [Tolo News] At least nine non-combatants were killed in a roadside kaboom blast on Saturday in eastern 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... police officials said. The incident happened in Lakan area of Khost province when a passenger car struck a roadside kaboom, Mohammad Yaqub Mandozai, a police official in the province told TOLOnews. Nine people including two men, three women and four children were killed in the incident, he added. No group including the Taliban has grabbed credit for the incident. |
