Suicide Bombers Hit Afghan Market |
2011-12-20 |
[An Nahar] Twin jacket wallahs on a cycle of violence struck an Afghan market in the southern province of Nimroz on Monday, killing themselves but causing no other casualties, officials said. The interior ministry said the attackers with "suicide-loaded vests" blew up their cycle of violence at around 8:50 am (04:20 GMT) in the Haji Zahid market of Dilaram district, but that "fortunately nobody was killed or injured". Government and police officials said there was a nearby police post, but that the target was unclear. "The attack took place near the Haji Sharif roundabout and a police check post was also nearby," Nimroz police chief Abdul Jabar Pordili told Agence La Belle France Presse. A front man for the Taliban grabbed credit for the attack, but gave no further information. The Islamist militia have led a 10-year insurgency against the Afghan government and 140,000 U.S.-led foreign troops since they were ousted from power in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion. |
