[Tolo News] A jacket wallah hit a police checkpoint in northern Kunduz province on Thursday, killing a policeman and a child, officials said.The incident occurred at about 8:00am in the lovely provincial capital, Kunduz City, when police stopped the bomber for inspection, said Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, a police front man in Kunduz. Five others were maimed in the blast, he added.
It is the second suicide kaboom in the last four days in the increasingly restive province.
Earlier this week, four jacket wallahs stormed an Afghan army recruitment centre in the province, killing five police, four Afghan soldiers and wounding more than a dozen others.
Kunduz has become a hub for the Taliban-led insurgency in northern Afghanistan over the past two years. The attack on Thursday comes a day after Nato and Afghan forces launched a major offensive against Talibs in the volatile Chahar Dara district.
