Grenade attack on Kabul cricket stadium kills two

Two people were killed in the grenade explosion that shook Kabul's main cricket stadium during a domestic league match on Friday, police said yesterday, updating their previous casualty toll. The blast occurred in the crowd as spectators watched a match between two teams from the local Shpageza cricket league, the Afghan Cricket Board said. "The blast happened due to a grenade, two have been killed and some of our countrymen injured," Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran said yesterday, adding that security forces were looking for those responsible for the attack. "The match stopped for a while. After clean-up of the area the match restarted," Zadran told Reuters. No one has claimed responsibility for Friday's attack.
