Afghan car bomb attack kills 10
2006-01-06
Ten people have died in a suicide car bomb attack aimed at the headquarters of a provincial governor in central Afghanistan. Provincial spokesman Abdullah Jan says there are civilians and police in the area of the blast in Tirin Kot, the capital of Uruzgan province. However, it is not known how many of each have been killed.

"Some 500 metres from the provincial headquarters a suicide car bomb explosion killed at least 10 people," Mr Jan said. "We don't have the breakdown of civilian and police casualties at this moment nor do we know of the number of wounded people." The Governor, Jan Mohammad Khan, was not in the building at the time because he has gone to Mecca for the Hajj, the annual Muslim pilgrimage.
