Twelve persons have been reported dead in a car bomb attack in
the western province of Ghor on Sunday, October 18.
According to reports, the attack was targeted at the Afghan
police headquarters but exploded at the front of the force
building, destroyed nearby structures and killed at least 12
civilians; leaving about 100 persons severely injured.
retwtr.com understands that the attack
happened in Feroz Koh, the capital of Ghor, a province which has
witnessed only meagre attacks over the years compared to some other
regions of the warring country.
However, no group at the moment has claimed responsibility for
the attack but retwtr.com understands that there have been
conflicts between the Taliban and government in recent
weeks. Confirming the incident, the ministry of interior noted
that the car bomb detonated in front of Ghor police headquarters at
about 11:00 am.
The ministry said, “The terrorists detonated an
explosives-filled car… as a result 12 civilians were killed and
more than 100 people were wounded,”
