Five die in bomb blasts

-

THREE separate explosions in the Afghan capital Kabul have killed at least five people and wounded two others, a police official said, amid a surge in violence in the war-torn country.

Kabul police spokesman Ferdaws Faramarz said two explosions caused by sticky bombs took place 15 minutes apart and a third targeting a police vehicle took place two hours later.

No group immediatel­y claimed responsibi­lity.

The majority of bomb attacks in Kabul in recent months have been sticky bombs: explosive devices with magnets that are attached to vehicles and detonated by remote control or timer.
