2011-06-23
[Tolo News] A jacket wallah detonated his explosives at an Afghan police check post in southern Ghazni on Wednesday killing 6 Afghan police, local officials said.

The incident occurred at 08:30 am local time in Qara Bagh district of Ghazni province when a boomer detonated his explosives in the area killing 6 police, Dawood Shah Wafadar, chief of Tundar 203 military Corps told TOLOnews.

Mr Wafadar said Afghan forces are in control of the area and fire fighting still continues with Talibs in the area.

Qara Bagh, Gaghoori and Moqur districts are among the insecure areas where Orcs and similar vermin have been active in most villages often carrying out attacks on Afghan police check posts.

The attack happens a day after a suicide bomber attacked provincial office of Parwan killing two civilians including a 14-year-old girl walking by at the time of the incident.

The Tuesday attack occurred while Parwan provincial governor Basir Salangi was in his office and he survived the attack.

The Taliban have grabbed credit for the attack.

The Taliban have recently increased their activities in the country targeting government officials and sites.

Violence increased as foreign forces to hand security responsibility to Afghan forces in July months this year.
