MTF ISAF event # 417/414 ====================================================================== Mulitiple reports of same incident; summaries combined ====================================================================== 1st Duplicate report summary IED was detonated in KHOWST Marketplace. No coalition forces were involved. Update of BDA. 1x LN killed, 7x LN wounded. No secondary devices found. Location was cell phone shop in khowst marketplace. IED is a result of tribal fighting, IED was placed in a fruit basket in the market. Event Updated: TF Paladin and QRF responded to TF Fury/Professional events. AT 0940L, TF Fury reported an IED detonation a SIED. (CEXC) At approx. 220510ZAPR 07 an IED detonation occurred in a cellphone shop in a city mall complex in Khowst marketplace. 1 LN was killed and 7 LN in the shop were wounded. The event was reported by the ANP police chief, who reported the IED appeared to be the result of tribal feuding. INVESTIGATORS COMMENTS The cellphone shop had only recently opened in the Mall. The IED detonated on the floor in the approximate centre of the shop. The explosion destroyed the shop interior and punched a hole through the reinforced concrete floor into the shop below. From witness statements and blast damage to the internal cabinetry, it would appear to have been placed beside a desk or shop fitting, which has influenced the blast. The device appears to have been placed inside a SONY video camera bag, due to the explosive disruption and discolouration evident on the bag. The recovered pieces of the SONY bag do not contain any IED construction materials or wires. The shop displays evidence of blast overpressure but does not show any evidence of primary fragmentation from the IED but secondary fragmentation from the shop display items is widespread. It is estimated the explosive was a military grade high explosive of approximately 0.5 kg NEC that detonated in contact with the concrete floor. No circuitry was recovered, but a plastic fragment that displays tearing and discolouration from a close proximity to the explosion was recovered. Due to the cellphone electronic contents of the shop being destroyed in the blast, there was a large amount of electronic componentry spread throughout the scene, limiting the ability to locate post blast evidence.
