Popular sources say the Taliban beat and detained journalists and took them away.
On the other hand, the head of Mumtaz Educational Center and three teachers of this center have also been arrested by the Taliban.
Mumtaz Educational Center, located in Qala-e-Naw, Dasht-e-Barchi, was the target of an explosion at 9 am today, and after that, an hour later, Abdul Rahim Shahid School in Dasht-e-Barchi was the target of two more powerful explosions.
Statistics from hospitals show that more than 30 students have died, but press officials from the Taliban-led government tell the media that only six students have died and 15 others have been injured.
