2 Blasts Hit Buses in Kabul, Dozens of Casualties Reported in Hazeri section; 3rd bomb gets electric station
|
[ToloNews] An explosion targeted a bus on Tuesday evening near the Ahlolbait Mosque in the Sar-e-Karez area of PD3 in Kabul city, and was followed by another later in the evening.
A security source told TOLOnews that at least 8 people were killed and 14 were maimed in the two blasts.
Eyewitnesses said there were about 30 casualties.
The two buses held dozens of passengers and were headed toward Dashte-e-Barchi in western Kabul.
Three bombs rattled the Afghan capital Kabul late Tuesday killing at least 10 people and plunging the city into darkness, an Afghan government front man said.
Two bombs went kaboom! in quick succession in separate locations of a west Kabul neighborhood, killing at least 10 people and wounding a dozen others, said deputy Interior Ministry front man Said Hamid Rushan.
A third bomb heavily damaged an electrical grid station in north Kabul, said Sangar Niazai, a front man for the government power supply department.
The initial two bombings, both targeting minivans, happened in a mostly ethnic Hazara
...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets...
area of the capital, said Rushan.
The first went kaboom! near the home of a prominent Hazara leader, Mohammad Mohaqiq, and in front of a Shiite mosque. Most Hazaras are Shiites. The second bomb also targeted a minivan but Rushan said details were still being collected.
Police cordoned off the two areas and Sherlocks were sifting through the rubble.
No one grabbed credit for the bombings but the Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group affiliate operating in Afghanistan has previously declared war on minority Shiites, who make up roughly 20% of the majority Sunni Moslem nation of 36 million people. The IS affiliate previously took responsibility for several attacks in May on Afghanistan's power supply stations in Kabul and in several other provinces. On May 8, a boom-mobile and two roadside kabooms went kaboom! outside the Syed-al-Shahada girls school, also in a predominantly Hazara neighborhood, killing nearly 90 people, many of them students. No one has yet claimed that attack but the U.S. blamed IS.
