KABUL (SW) – The Office of Presidential Affairs has confirmed that a car carrying deputy director of the Office of Coordination of Advisors was hit by a bomb blast in the capital on Thursday.
Fazl Mahmoud Fazly, head of the OPA, has tweeted that a car carrying Javid Wali, the deputy director of the Office of Advisory Affairs, was targeted in a magnetic bomb attack. According to him, Wali was seriously injured in the incident and Bahram Uddin, his driver, died.
“Afghanistan’s enemies have become so humiliated and powerless that they make no distinction between civilian and military targets, and have declared war on all Afghans,” Fazly wrote.
The blast took place at around 8:15 a.m. this morning in the 7th district of Chehelston, according to the Kabul Police Command. Ferdaus Faramarz, a spokesman for the Kabul Police Command, said one person was killed and two others were injured in the incident.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the blast.
There has been an unprecedented increase in targeted killings, targeted assassinations and the explosion of magnetic bombs in the country, especially in Kabul. A number journalists, human rights activists and women’s rights activists have also been killed in the incidents.
The Interior Ministry has held the Taliban responsible for the incidents, but the Taliban have denied involvement in these incidents.
