| 2 Injured In Explosion At Home Of Karzai’s Brother |
| 2003-08-19 |
| The Afghan president’s younger brother says an explosion at his house Tuesday "was a very bad accident." Police had earlier said the explosion was a bomb. A spokesman for President Hamid Karzai says a servant was moving ammunition and it "suddenly for some reason exploded." "Honey, mom is coming to spend the weekend. Can you have the butler move the mortar rounds out of the guest bedroom?" The blast sent a plume of black smoke from the large compound in southern Afghanistan. One worker was seriously hurt and another had minor injuries. No one was killed. It’s Afghanistan, what more is there to say? |
