KABUL, 27 March, 2021 (TON): The newest weapons in terrorizing the Afghans in the war-torn country are the sticky bombs slapped onto the cars stuck in the traffic.
As the U.S. plans to withdraw troops, in the Afghan capital last weekend, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said America wanted a “responsible end” to Afghanistan’s relentless war. But in the meantime violence is escalating and taking the occasional new twist, such as the sticky bombs.
Calling the heavy use of sticky bombs relatively new and easy to carry, the former Interior Minister Masoud Andarab said, “What is new is that they (attackers) have created a simple model.”
Some victims are targeted, while others appear to have been chosen at random, with the aim of terrorizing an entire population, Andarabi said.
However, one motive appears to be to undermine faith in peace efforts among ordinary Afghans, with the Taliban and the government blaming each other for the chaos.
