| [Iran Press TV] At least three Afghan coppers have been killed and four others maimed in a kaboom in Afghanistan's eastern province of Laghman. According to a statement released by the provincial government, the blast took place in the Baad Pukh district of the province, located 260 kilometers (161 miles) east of the capital, Kabul, at around 05:00 a.m. local time (0030 GMT) on Thursday when a vehicle touched off a buried bomb. The statement further noted that a police commander, identified as Mohammadulla, was among those killed in the attack. The Taliban later grabbed credit for the act of violence. Roadside bombs and improvised bombs (IEDs) are by far the most lethal weapons Talibs use against Afghan forces, foreign troops and civilians. On Wednesday, four civilians bit the dust in a similar incident in Afghanistan's southern province of Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... . |
