WAKIL KOHSAR / AFPTwo policemen and four other people were killed in Afghanistan on Saturday after a deadly clash at a public food donation in central Ghor province, officials said.
It was not immediately clear why the gathering turned violent, but officials blamed armed men in the crowd.“Four civilians, including an employee of a local radio and two policemen were killed,” he said, adding that 19 people were also wounded. The interior ministry confirmed the death toll in a statement, saying “some illegal armed men in the mob attacked the government building”, which prompted police to fire into the air to disperse the crowd.
