| At least seven people were killed after a suicide bomber detonated his explosives outside a National Directorate of Security (NDS) office in PD2 Lashkargah city in Helmand on Tuesday, officials said. According to the provincial police chief Aqa Noor Kentoz the incident took place at about mid-day in the provincial capital. Kentoz said the explosion took place while a meeting was underway at the NDS office between security officials and insurgents who wanted to join the peace process. He said some of the peace-seeking insurgents were among the dead. Eyewitnesses said bomb-disposal experts were also called in to defuse a car bomb at the scene that had not detonated. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. |
