Explosives planted in an auto-rickshaw [a three-wheeled vehicle] detonated late afternoon on Monday near a mosque in the Shindand district, Jillani Farhad, the Herat governor's front man, said. He said the kaboom took place at a busy market in the district. The provincial ambulance services head told Pajhwok news agency that 17 people had been injured in the blast. Images circulating on social media showed the debris and damage in the aftermath of the kaboom. The Afghan Taliban ...Arabic for students... denied via Twitter involvement in Monday's attack. |
