[TOLOnews] - A jacket wallah detonated his body-borne explosives outside a girl's school in northeastern Badkahshan province on Thursday, killing an Afghan local police (ALP) chief and one other person.
Sixteen others were maimed in the attack which took place in the Kishim district in the afternoon.
ALP chief Nazok Mir, an area elder who commanded Afghan fighters against the Soviets in the 1960s, was killed by the kaboom, according to the head of the 303 Pamir corps in northern Afghanistan, Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai.
Most of the casualties were civilians, Ahmadzai added.
No group, including the Taliban, has yet grabbed credit for the attack.
The attack comes as eight ALP personnel were killed in a Taliban attack late Wednesday in western Farah province, and nine other ALP men were killed in Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
on Friday by a fellow policeman who, according to Taliban, returned to join the thug group. |
