| A woman was killed with two children in an explosion triggered by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in northern Jawzjan province of Afghanistan. According to the local officials, at least three others, including a man and two children were wounded in the incident. Provincial governor’s spokesman Mohammad Reza Ghafoori said the incident took place after the vehicle carrying civilians struck an IED in Kolkadash district. He said the civilians were on the way to participate in a wedding ceremony when their vehicle struck an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). No group including the Taliban militants has so far claimed responsibility behind the incident but the local officials blame the Taliban group for the incident, saying Taliban insurgents frequently use IEDs to target the security forces and the government officials. |
