| 2006-01-16 |
| At least 20 people were killed in a second suicide bombing on Monday in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, the third such attack to rock the city in the past 24 hours, DPA reported. The 20 fatalities were reported to be civilians, while another 20 civilians were injured in the blast, said the governor of Kandahar province, Asadulla Khalid. Just a few hours earlier a suicide bombing killed four people in Kandahar city, including a civilian and three Afghan soldiers. On Sunday a suicide bomber targeting a military convoy in the city killed three people, a high-ranking Canadian diplomat and two Afghan soldiers. We knew they'd eventually get it right. Now the question is, will the Afghan troops and cops adapt to handle it? |
