Three People Killed In Two Blasts In Nangarhar
[ToloNews] At least three people were killed in two separate blasts in Jalalabad, the capital city of eastern Nangarhar

, local officials confirmed on Sunday.

According to the officials, the blasts took place on Sunday morning in PD 2 of Jalalabad.

Nangarhar has recently seen a surge in hit-and-run killings as well as with other security incidents.

The provincial residents urged the current government to form a proper plan to take security measures in the province.

"The people are very upset by the existence of gangs. If they (gunnies) get into a rickshaw, they should face legal action," said Bahir, a resident.

A video went viral on social media showing a number of button men firing from a rikshaw at passengers in a car.

The provincial governor’s office in a statement instructed the rikshaw-drivers to not transport armed people, including the forces of the Islamic Emirate. The statement warned that those who violate the order would be punished.

"The rikshaw drivers should avoid transporting gunnies. Those who violate the order will face legal actions," said Qazi Mullah Adel, the provincial governor’s front man.

"This is a good step. The documents of the rickshaw should be checked and the security forces should also wear a uniform," said Naseer, a rikshaw driver.

The Islamic Emirate officials said that many ISIS plots were thwarted in Nangarhar. Dr. Basheer, head of the provincial intelligence department, said that nearly 250 ISIS affiliates surrendered to the government over the past two months in Nangarhar.

"Approximately 250 ISIS fighters surrendered to the Islamic Emirate," he said.

province have asked Raksha (Taxi) drivers not to transport other button men other than the Taliban affiliates.

Nangarhar’s provincial office in a statement asked the drivers around the province to give them hand in ensuring the security of the province and acknowledged them to prevent transporting other button men.

The statement has also asked the people of Nangarhar province to cooperate with them and inform them after they see suspected button men in Raksha taxis.

Though the statement did not name any specific group of krazed killers, they apparently aim at the ISIS-K fighters who are reportedly more active in the eastern provinces of Afghanistan than other parts of the country.
Other rebels, like the reborn Northern Alliance, must not be mentioned lest they turn out to be still very active, of course.
It comes as the number of targeted liquidations has risen recently that has worried the local residents.

Residents of Nangarhar province say that they often see people hanged from trees or their heads cut early in the morning but have no clue about the victims nor the perpetrators.
A hard people, the Afghans, who prefer more permanent solutions when the West does not have them tightly leashed.
