| [Tolo News] Three kabooms occurred in two different districts in southern Kandahar province on Sunday leaving 10 people dead, provincial officials said. Two mines destroyed people gathering in a dog fighting ground in Arghandab district of Kandahar and the kabooms left 10 people killed wounding 17 others including five coppers, local officials said. The third blast occurred in Mirwais Meena area located close to downtown Kandahar. Witnesses told TOLOnews that one child was hurt in the kaboom. The kaboom happened while a convoy of foreign forces was passing by the area, locals said. But the Afghan Ministry of Interior Affairs only confirmed two blasts that hit the dog fighting ground. The statement said 10 people including two coppers were killed and 17 others including five police members were hurt. Calling the attacks "inhuman and un-Islamic" the interior ministry strongly condemned them. It said investigations have already started. |
