Two people were killed and 12 wounded in an explosion in western Kabul on January 11, a police spokesman said. It was the third deadly blast to hit the Afghan capital in less than a week. Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran said the deaths and injuries occurred when a grenade was detonated outside a commercial center in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighborhood, an enclave of Afghanistan’s Hazara community, a predominantly Shi’ite ethnic group. A separate explosion earlier on January 11 occurred near a mosque. There was no information about casualties or damage caused by the first explosion on January 11.
