Bus bomb kills two in Afghan capital: Taliban
[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] Two people were killed and four maimed in separate bomb explosions in the west of Afghanistan’s capital Kabul on Friday, the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
said."Two civilians have been killed and three others were maimed" when a bomb went kaboom! on a minibus in the Dasht-e-Barchi district of Kabul, the Taliban’s interior ministry front man Sayed Khosti told news hounds.

"In another explosion in the same area, one woman was maimed," he added, specifying that the second blast was also a bomb.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks.

Dasht-e-Barchi is largely populated by the mostly Shiite Hazara
...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets...
community, who for years has been the target of violence by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
-Khorasan (ISIS-K) group.

In November, a similar kaboom on a minibus in Dasht-e-Barch killed two people and maimed five others. That attack was claimed by ISIS-K.

ISIS-K grabbed credit for an October 15 suicide kaboom on a Shiite mosque in Kandahar that killed at least 60 people and injured scores more.

That attack came a week after another deadly mosque blast claimed by the group in northern Kunduz province killed over 60 people.

#1 It seems not matter who is running things, the other side always wants to kill their own people in protest.

I guess different cultures have different ways of population control.
