| [Dawn] Four suicide kaboomers stormed an army recruitment centre in northern Afghanistan early Sunday sparking a shootout that left two soldiers dead and three others maimed, officials said. "Four bombers attacked the recruitment centre. Three of them have been rubbed out and one is still resisting," Hameedullah Danishi, the deputy provincial governor, told AFP.
"So far two Afghan soldiers have been killed and three are maimed," Mahboubullah Saeedi, the front man for the provincial governor, said. In a separate assault, a suicide kaboomer opened fire on an army bus in the capital Kabul. He was shot by coppers and his explosives detonated setting two vehicles ablaze, interior ministry front man Zemarai Bashari told AFP. Bashary did not give any figures on casualties and said police had cordoned off the area and were still assessing the damage and impact of the blast. | |
