4 injured in Parwan sticky bomb blast

CHARIKAR (Pajhwok): Four people were injured on Friday when a sticky bomb attached to the vehicle of a former Wolesi Jirga member exploded in Bagram district of central Parwan province, an official said.

Bagram district chief Abdul Shakoor Qudusi told Pajhwok Afghan News the blast took place in Sayad area of Bagram district.

He said former lawmaker Zahoor Saadat was not in the car at the time of the blast but four people in the car were injured.

Without elaborating, he said two of the wounded had been taken to Kabul for treatment and the two others were being treated at the Bagram clinic.

Meanwhile, some sources said one person was killed in the blast, but Qudusi said he had not received any report about someone’s death in the incident.

The blast comes amid increasing targeted killings in the country, especially in Kabul.

No one has claimed responsibility for most of the incidents, although the government has accused the Taliban for the bombings, but the group has denied any involvement.
