KABUL: At least 50 people were killed or injured when a fuel truck targeted by a bomb erupted in flames in northern Afghanistan, an official said Wednesday.
"A smaller explosion, caused by a magnet bomb, made a hole in the fuel truck. When people gathered around it to collect the pooling fuel, a bigger explosion took place," said Roshna Khalid, provincial spokeswoman in Parwan which lies north of the capital Kabul.
"At this time we know that about 50 are killed or injured."
