FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The first attack was carried out on Tuesday morning when a bomb hidden in a parked motorcycle went off in a crowded market in Garmser district of the province.
“An Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attached to a motorcycle was detonated through a remote controller in a marketplace near a picnic spot in Safa area of Garmser district at around 8:45 a.m. local time Tuesday, killing three and wounding nine others,” senior provincial police official Mohammad Ismahil Hotak said.
He said that two policemen and four children were among the injured.
In the second attack, three civilians were killed and one wounded in another bomb explosion in Marja district of Helmand Province on the same day.
Senior regional police officer Colonel Mohammad Ismael Hotak said that the incident occurred after a civilian vehicle hit a roadside bomb.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but officials always blame Taliban for such blasts.
Roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices are by far the most lethal weapons Taliban militants use against Afghan forces, foreign troops, and civilians.
Civilians have also been killed in attacks carried out by the US-led forces in the war-torn country.
Civilian casualties have long been a source of friction between the Afghan government and US-led foreign forces and have dramatically increased anti-US sentiments in Afghanistan.
Violence continues to plague Afghanistan despite the presence of thousands of foreign forces, more than a decade after the US-led invasion of the country in 2001.
According to a UN report released on February 19, a total of 2,754 civilians were killed and 4,805 injured in conflict-related violence in Afghanistan last year.
