Afghanistan
Boom in Mazar; Nobody killed but Dynamite Boy
2005-12-16
A suicide bomber detonated explosives near a major shrine in a northern Afghanistan city yesterday, killing himself but causing no other injuries, police said. The bomber had explosives wrapped around his body and detonated them in a park beside a large shrine in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province. He was outside the shrine when the explosives went off, according to Sheir Jahn Durani, spokesman for the local police. The bomber’s motive was not immediately clear.
