Two Killed in Parwan Suicide Attack
2011-06-22
[Tolo News] At least two people were killed in a suicide kaboom in northern Parwan province on Tuesday, local officials said.

A jacket wallah targeted provincial office of Parwan at 11:00 am local time killing the driver of governor and a 14-year-old girl walking by at the time of the incident, Roshan Khalid, front man for governor told TOLOnews.

Two other civilians were maimed in the attack, he added.

The incident occurred while Parwan provincial governor Mr Basir Salangi was in his office and he has survived the attack, officials said.

The Taliban have grabbed credit for the attack.

The Taliban have recently increased their activities in the country targeting government officials and sites.

Some of the key police officials in the north including commander of 303 Pamir zone Gen. Dawood Dawood have previously been killed in Taliban attacks.

Violence has increased as foreign forces are to hand over security responsibility to Afghan forces in July this year.
