Roadside bomb kills 10 civilians in Afghanistan
2014-07-13
[ARABNEWS] Roadside bombs in Afghanistan killed at least 10 people Saturday, authorities said. The deadliest attack happened in southern Kandahar province when a bomb struck a civilian car, killing civilians including five women, they said.

No group immediately grabbed credit for that blast, But Panjwayi district police chief Sultan Mohammad blamed the Taliban for the incident.

"They were traveling from Pajwai district to Kandahar city to visit a doctor and do some shopping for the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr (Moslem holiday)," said Dawa Khan Minapal, a front man for provincial governor.

"But their vehicle was targeted by a roadside kaboom freshly planted by the Taliban and this tragedy happened." He added: "Their dead bodies are still in the area and police have already transferred two maimed children from the incident to a provincial hospital."

The incident took place days after the Taliban ordered their men to avoid targeting civilians.
That's one of them there taqiyah thingies or mebbe a kitmen.
"We have to be very careful when planting roadside kabooms targeting the enemy and we have to consider ordinary lives," a Taliban statement said on July 4.
And so they have done.
In a similar incident in the eastern city of Jalalabad two people were killed when a remote control bomb went off. The target was an army vehicle but it escaped unharmed, said Abdul Zia Abdulzai, a front man for the provincial governor.
