[Khaleej Times] Three people including a child have been killed and 13 others injured in a kaboom near the Pakistain-Afghanistan border.The blast occurred in the town of Chaman, which is one of two major crossing points between Afghanistan and Pakistain and used by thousands of people daily.

grabbed credit for the blast in a statement shared with Rooters.
"It was a remote-control bomb planted in a cycle of violence ," Deputy Commissioner of the district Tariq Javed Mengal told Rooters, adding that the earth-shattering kaboom was targeting a vehicle carrying a police brass hat.
Mengal said the earth-shattering kaboom occurred as the police vehicle was passing by. A shopkeeper, a passer-by and a child were killed, and two security personnel were among the 13 others injured.
The injured were immediately shifted to district hospital in Chaman, and nine were taken to a hospital in the bustling provincial capital of Quetta, a police officer told Rooters. The senior police officer who was apparently the target of the blast was not injured. Security forces launched a search operation in the area after the incident.
The bombing comes amid a sharp rise in violence by the Pak Taliban, a group that once used the border region to launch attacks inside Pakistain as well as host bad boys, including Al Qaeda.
The group was largely in disarray after a major Pak military ground operation, but last year several splinter groups announced a new alliance and since then attacks on security personnel as well as civilians have risen.
