Afghanistan

Bomb on bus carrying media workers kills two

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] An Afghan official says a magnetic bomb attached to a bus carrying media workers has killed two people in the capital, Kabul.

Nasrat Rahimi, the interior ministry front man, said on Sunday that the bus driver and a pedestrian were killed.

He said two employees of the Khurshid TV station and another pedestrian were maimed.

No one grabbed credit, but the Taliban

and the rival ISIS bully boy group have both attacked news hounds in the past over what the ~~bandidos~~ bully boys view as biased or negative coverage.

The two groups are active in the capital.

In June, the Taliban said local Afghan media would be targeted if they continued transmitting anti-Taliban announcements paid for by the government.
