Local government officials said the attack took place in Khost city on Monday. Provincial police chief, General Faizullah Ghairat, confirmed the attack, saying the target of the kaboom was a police vehicle. He added that Afghan cops did not suffer any casualties. On Saturday, two coppers were killed and five others were maimed in separate attacks in the city. Taliban have recently stepped up their military offensive against US-led and Afghan forces, vowing a new wave of attacks across Afghanistan. The myrmidon group said it would use every possible tactic to inflict casualties on Afghan and US-led forces. They specifically mentioned insider attacks and bombings. The announcement prompted Afghan authorities to beef up security in major cities across the country, including the capital Kabul. |
