Blast in Mazar-e-Sharif Leaves Four People Injured
2022-08-25
[ToloNews] The Balkh Security Command said that a kaboom in Mazar-e-Sharif on Wednesday injured four people, including the perpetrator, who authorities said was carrying explosives when they detonated.

According to the Balkh Police Command's front man, Asif Waziri, the incident occurred at the Balkh Gate of the city.

"Our security forces are looking for such destructive individuals. The security forces won't permit such people, we assure the Balkh people," Waziri stated.

"Today's explosion occurred in Mazar-e-Sharif; four injured have been brought to the hospital; their conditions are good; one of the injured, who may have been carrying explosives, had his legs amputated," said Najib Tawana, director of Balkh Public Health.
So his legs got to Paradise, but he is stuck here without them? How unfortunate.
According to witnesses, six people were maimed.

No group has so far taken responsibility for the earth-shattering kaboom.
But no doubt Mr. Legless will soon enough have plenty to say. The Taliban are known for recruiting for those with a gentle, refined nature.
