1 killed, another wounded in a magnetic bomb explosion in Kabul city
2019-03-17
“It’s like the Wild East out there, effendi.”
“Just do your best, Sergeant Alhamdalullah. That’s all anyone can do during these troubled times.”
[KhaamaPress] At least two people were killed or maimed in an kaboom triggered by a magnetic bomb in Kabul city earlier this morning, the security officials said.

Basir Mujahid, a front man for Kabul Police Commandment, said the incident took place in the vicinity of Kote Sangi area located in 5th police district of the city.

Mujahid further added that the magnetic bomb was planted in a private Toyota Corolla type vehicle which went off at around 8:20am local time today.

He said the blast left the driver of the vehicle dead while another individual was maimed in the kaboom.

No individual or group has so far grabbed credit for the kaboom.

The anti-government armed elements have stepped up magnetic kabooms in Kabul city and other large cities and provinces of the country during the recent years.

#2  They've switched to magnetic bombs now because of less wires to keep track of.
