[Iran Press TV] Four coppers have been killed by a roadside kaboom in Badghis province, which is located 555 kilometers (344 kilometers) northwest of the Afghan capital Kabul.

Provincial governor's front man Sharafudin Majedi said that a police pick-up truck hit a roadside kaboom planted by cut-throats in the Qadis district of the province on Saturday.

"Unfortunately, all four coppers onboard were killed," he added.
