Afghanistan: Suicide bombers attack government building |
2009-04-02 |
![]() In a coordinated attack, the suicide bombers struck shortly after one of them detonated a car laden with explosives outside the offices of the consultative provincial council, as members of the council were holding a meeting with local elders. Two of the bombers were shot dead by police officers before they could detonate their explosives. However, a third militant managed to detonate his explosives, killing himself. Five of the victims were civilians and one was a police officer, said Afghanistan interior ministry spokesman Zemeri Bashary. No militant group initially claimed responsibility for the attack. Afghan and NATO-led troops have cordoned off the area. Kandahar, a former Taliban stronghold is Afghanistan's third largest city. The latest attack come as thousands of new US troops are due to arrive in the country. |

#2 Probably not, G(r)om. The Russians weren't there long enough to institutionalize their style of (shudder) architecture. Probably a bunch of madrassa students conducting their final exam (pun intended). |
