TEHRAN, July 10 - A suicide bomber in Afghanistan killed at least 12 people, including several children, on Tuesday, in an attack in the eastern city of Jalalabad claimed by Daesh terrorists.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The attacker detonated his explosives near a petrol pump, killing two officials working for Afghanistan's intelligence agency, and sparking a big fire.
Ten civilians, including children, were killed.
"Most of the victims were children who were working in a car wash," said Sohrab Qaderi, a member of the provincial council.
Officials said they were trying to identify charred bodies of children. Eight cars were burned in the explosion.
Daesh caimed the attack in a statement on their Amaq news agency.
"A martyrdom attack using an explosives jacket hit a gathering of Afghan intelligence," the militants said.
Inamullah Miakhel, a spokesman for the provincial health department, said five wounded people were taken to a hospital.
Last week, a Daesh suicide bomber targeted Afghanistan’s Sikh minority in Jalalabad, killing 13 members of the community.
