This cheap, precise and lethal bomb has been a weapon of choice for terror outfits in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has now reached Kashmir.
On 15 December last year, Mahbubullah Mohibi, the deputy governor of Afghanistanâs Kabul province, left his home in an armoured SUV, bound for his office.

Mohibi and his secretary were killed.
