A bomb planted under the chair of a city police chief exploded Tuesday, killing him and wounding two government officials at his office in eastern Afghanistan, doctors and a senior police official said. Gen. Mohammed Younis Noorzai, provincial police chief in Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province, told The Associated Press that assailants planted the bomb in the office of Jalalabad police chief Haji Ajab Shah, ``The moment he (Shah) sat on his seat, the bomb exploded,'' Noorzai said.
| Ow. Cheeze, that hurts just to think about it... |
| Ah,yes, the old C4 Whoopie Cushion trick. |
Noorzai said there was a possibility that the bomb was planted by Taliban or al-Qaida rebels. An official at the governor's office told AP that Shah was on the hit list of Taliban and al-Qaida fighters because he has given help to the U.S.-led coalition forces and the government of President Hamid Karzai. |
