2018-11-12
Whoops!
[KhaamaPress] At least three Talibs were killed in an kaboom triggered by own Improvised Explosive Device in southern Zabul province of Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Interior (MoI) in a statement said the incident took place on Saturday in Jaldak district of the province.

The statement further added that three Talibs were busy planting an improvised bomb on a roadside when the incident took place, leaving three of them dead.

The anti-government armed murderous Moslem groups including Talibs have not commented regarding the incident so far.

report released few weeks earlier.

The special report ‐ titled "Increasing Harm to Afghan Civilians form the Deliberate and Indiscriminate Use of Improvised Explosive Devices" ‐ documents a sharp increase from 1 January ‐ 30 September 2018 in the killing and maiming of Afghan civilians by IEDs, which have caused almost half of the civilian casualties from conflict-related violence.
