Sunday, 10 January 2021 _A bomb explosion has killed at least three people in the Afghan capital, the latest attack as government negotiators are in Qatar to resume peace talks with the Taliban.
Zia Wadan, a spokesman for Afghanistan’s Public Protection Force was killed along with two of his colleagues when a roadside bomb targeted their vehicle in Kabul on Sunday, according to the Interior Ministry.
Ministry spokesman Tariq Arian said in a press conference that the vehicle carrying Wadan, a former journalist, was hit in the morning rush-hour traffic in an eastern part of the capital.
He added that a fourth person was wounded in the blast that was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).
