| 2020-11-13 |
| [ToloNews] Ilias Daee, Radio Azadi news hound, was killed in a magnetic IED blast in the southern province of Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... on Thursday morning, said Omar Zwak, front man for Helmand governor. Zwak said the incident happened in police district 1 (PD1) of Lashkargah city. No group has claimed reasonability for the attack so far. This comes as early this week on Saturday, three people, including former TOLOnews presenter Yama Siawash, were killed in a kaboom in the Makrorayan-e-Char area in Kabul’s PD9. The explosion was a magnetic IED blast that targeted a vehicle carrying the former journalist and two others, according to police. Police said the earth-shattering kaboom targeted a vehicle that belonged to the government-owned Central Bank. All those who bit the dust in the attack, including Siawash, were employees of the Central Bank, police said. [PUBLISH.TWITTER]
