In a cricket match in the northern city of Jalalabad, in the capital city of Nangarhar, a series of bomb blasts killed eight people and injured 45. This is the first terrorist attack in Afghanistan since the start of the holy month of Ramadan.
Militant attacks did not stop even in religiously important months. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani strongly condemned the incident in Jalalabad on Saturday.
The first bomb was exploded in front of the stadium on Friday evening. The provincial government sources confirmed the blasts during the match in the domestic 'Ramadan Cup' tournament. No group or organization has yet admitted to involvement in the incident. In a statement, the Taliban denied its liabilities. The government's suspicion is now towards IS.
Earlier in September last year, a suicide bomb attack in Kabul killed three people and injured five. Without any reason or any provocation, the militants are making such incidents regularly.
In the war-ravaged Afghanistan, there is often a case of terrorist attacks. Distorted brain militants have stood against what is needed for the healthy development of body and mind.
Recently, the international status of Afghanistan has been named as a test status. But their domestic cricket is being damaged by militants' brutality. Especially in their home venues, they have to choose a neutral country. Still they will be playing against India to play Test debut against India. They will also play the T20 series against Bangladesh by making India 's home ground' home ground '.
