KABUL, Afghanstan — Explosions targeting educational institutions killed at least six people, including students, and wounded 17 Tuesday in a mostly Shiite neighborhood of Afghanistan’s capital city, police said.
The explosions occurred inside the Abdul Rahim Shaheed High School and near the Mumtaz Education Center several kilometers away, both in the predominately Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Dasht-e-Barchi. There were no immediate reports of casualties at the education center. The AP spoke to several private guards in the area but they refused to give their names, fearing repercussions from the Taliban security force cordoning off the area.
The school is teaching students only until grade 6 after Afghanistan’s hard-line Taliban rulers went back on a promise to allow all girls to attend school.
