| Bomb kills north Afghan city intelligence official |
| 2011-08-05 |
| [Dawn] A car boom killed an intelligence official from Afghanistan's northern Kunduz city on Thursday morning, two days after suicide kaboomers killed four security guards at a guesthouse in the city used by foreigners, a police front man said. Three children were also maimed by the blast from the bomb planted in the car of Payenda Khan, head of a National Directorate of Security district in Kunduz city, said Sayed Sarwar Husaini, front man for the provincial policeman. Husaini had earlier said Khan was head of the National Directorate of Security in Kunduz province, but later said he was given incorrect information by officials at the bomb site. The killing comes after three jacket wallahs on Tuesday attacked a guesthouse in Kunduz, killing four Afghan security guards employed by a German company. The once peaceful north of the country has seen a series of high profile attacks and liquidations in recent years, as cut-throats seek to demonstrate their reach beyond their traditional southern heartland around Kandahar city. Violence is at its worst in Afghanistan since US-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban government in late 2001, with high levels of foreign troop deaths, and record civilian casualties. |
