KABUL, Afghanistan <\/p>\n
A suicide car bombing on Thursday rocked Gardez city in southeast Afghanistan, an official confirmed.<\/p>\n
Spokesman for the country’s Interior Ministry Tariq Aryan said in a statement the attack took place near the military courts in Gardez city, the capital of southeastern Paktia province located at a distance of 128 kilometers (79.5 miles) from the country’s capital Kabul.<\/p>\n
He said scores of civilians were killed in the blast at this spot frequented by many locals.<\/p>\n
“This attack is carried out by the Haqqani Network and Lashkar-e-Taiba. The attack is in connection with the string of attacks in Kabul’s Dasht-e-Barchi and Nangarhar,” he said.<\/p>\n
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, over 50 people, including babies and women, were killed in Daesh\/ISIS-claimed armed assault on a hospital in Kabul and a suicide attack claimed by the same group in eastern Nangarhar province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
