5 injured in grenade attack in N. Afghanistan
Five persons were injured Tuesday in a hand grenade attack in Afghanistan's Baghlan province with Pul-e-Khumri as its capital, 160 km north of capital city of Kabul, an official said.
"An unknown man hurled a hand grenade on a house in Nahrin district in the wee hours Tuesday. As a result, five people, including two women, were injured," administration chief of Nahrin district, Mawlana Fazil Rahman, told Xinhua.
He said the motive behind the attack have not been clear so far, adding that the injured were shifted to a district hospital and that police have initiated an investigation into incident.
The Taliban-led insurgency has been rampant since the militant group launched a spring rebel offensive from May 1 against Afghan and NATO-led troops stationed in Afghanistan.
The militant group warned people against supporting government and foreign troops.
