Bomb injures two in Nangarhar

Cheragh is an independent daily run by the Development and Democracy Association.

Two security officials were injured when a bomb went off in the Chaparhar district of the eastern province on Nangarhar on December 13, officials said. Mohammad Akram Basharyar, a police officer in the province, said the incident occurred in the morning when an unknown man left a device in a shop and security personnel tried to defuse it. So far no one has been arrested, the official said. A similar explosion killed three people including a police officer in the neighbouring Khugiani district late last month.
