No one immediately grabbed credit for Friday’s blast in Spin Boldak district. However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...are active in the province and have claimed earlier attacks.
Elsewhere, a blast caused by children playing with unwent
kaboom!ordnance has killed a pregnant woman, said officials in the northern Parwan province.
Seven children and two other women were also wounded, said Qasim Sangin, the head of a local hospital. One child remained at death's door.
An investigation found the unwent
kaboom!ordnance was quite old, according to an official in the Parwan police chief’s office. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to news hounds.
