Two Killed, Three Injured in Kabul Attack
2014-11-19
[Tolo News] Suicide bombers rammed foreign troop's compound in Kabul City early Tuesday morning, killing two Afghan security guards and injuring three others including a foreign soldier, security sources said.

The attack took place around 6:30 a.m. local time in the ninth district of Kabul City, after a jacket wallah detonated his car bomb at the entrance as the two other suicide bombers detonated their explosives during the festivities with the security forces, said Gen. Zahir Zahir, Police Chief of Kabul.

First Vice President Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
who had also visited the scene confirmed that two suicide bombers blew themselves up near a camp of foreign soldiers.

"The question is how the bombers managed to reach the camp as there is no way for the vehicle to enter," the first VP told news hounds.

The police cordoned-off the area and started investigations.

Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid grabbed credit for the attack and said, "the target was a foreign troop's intelligence office."

The attack on the camp of foreign troops came two days after a female politician and women's rights advocate Shukria Barakzai survived a suicide kaboom, in which three people were killed and 22 others injured.
