| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] At least 16 people were killed in two separate kabooms in northwestern Badghis province of Afghanistan, local officials said. The first incident took place on Wednesday morning in Bala Murghab district after an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) targeted a group of youths as they were on their way to an opium field for labor work. The second incident took place hours after the first blast and targeted another group of youths in Qads district, leaving at least 11 people dead. According to the local officials, the young men were going to lance the opium when they were targeted by IEDs planted by anti-government armed bad boy groups. No group including the Taliban forces of Evil has so far grabbed credit behind the two kabooms. Talibs and forces of Evil belonging to the other bad boy groups are frequently using Improvised Explosive Device (IED) as the weapon of their choice to target the security force. The IEDs are the main contributors to the casualties of the Afghan cops but are also considered as a key factor in growing civilian casualties. At least 600 non-combatants were killed and 1,343 others were maimed in the first quarter of 2016, the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Assistance Mission in Afghanistan said in its latest report. UNAMA further added that consistent with 2015 trends, ground engagements caused the highest number of total civilian casualties, followed by improvised bombs (IEDs), complex and suicide kabooms, as well as assassination'>assassinations. According to UNAMA, actions by Anti-Government Elements caused at least 60 per cent of casualties while Pro-Government Forces caused at least 19 per cent |
