Kunduz Suicide Kaboom Kills 33, Wounds 42
2011-03-15
[Tolo News] A suicide kaboom in northern Kunduz province on Monday Killed 33 people, including Afghan forces and hurt 42 others, local officials said.

The jacket wallah targeted Afghan National Army recruitment centre in downtown Kunduz province at 02:00 pm local time, Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, Media Chief of Pamir 303 Zone, told TOLOnews.

The dead include women and kiddies, officials said. Most of the dead are civilians, Mr Ahmadzai said.

Taliban have grabbed credit for the attack.
Way to pee in the pool you're swimming in, guys. Do you think this will encourage the locals not to call it in when you drop by next summer? When the British snipers are killing two of you with one bullet, and the Americans are patrolling all the way through the villages? Mao Tse Tung knew better.
The suicide attack came five days after a suicide bomber killed Abdul Rahman Sayedkhili, Kunduz Police Chief, along with his four bodyguards.

Kunduz was an secure province in the north of Afghanistan, but the recent wave of bully boy attacks seem to change it back into a volatile province.

Earlier on Saturday some parliamentarians representing Kunduz province warned that the situation in Kunduz was fragile and the government should soon appoint replacement of late Sayedkhili.
