Qargha (
Located east of the town sits the former Camp Qargha of the larger National Military Academy of Afghanistan.[2] A few miles to the northwest is Paghman. Both towns attract many local and foreign tourists, especially during public holidays.[3][4]
On 27 August 1986, there were large explosions in an army ammunition depot in the town.[5] This was during the Soviet–Afghan War, which ended on 15 February 1989.
On 22 June 2012, twenty people including security personnel were killed in the area during a terrorist attack.[6]
On 23 August 2014, a gang of criminals pretending to be police raped four women on the main Paghman-Qargha road. Five of the criminals were later executed by hanging after being convicted.[7][8][9][10]
