Kabul rocked by 4 blasts

AFP, Kabul

Four roadside bombs detonated in less than 90 minutes yesterday in a northern district of Kabul, wounding four civilians including a child, police said.

Militants have carried out several roadside bombings and rocket attacks in Kabul and other parts of the country in recent weeks, but yesterday morning's blasts appeared to be the first coordinated effort for some months.

No group has claimed the responsibilities for the blasts yet.

The bombings were in an area where Afghanistan's intelligence agency recently busted a joint Islamic State-Haqqani network cell accused of carrying out several attacks.
