10 Killed In Afghanistan Car Explosion
The Taliban killed at least 10 people and wounded 90 Thursday after a car bomb targeting an intelligence services building exploded and destroyed a nearby hospital in the southern Afghan city of Qalat, the governor of Zabul province told AFP.
Atta Jan Haqbayan, the head of Zabul’s provincial council, gave a higher death toll, saying 20 people had been killed in the attack and another 90 wounded. “It was horrific,” said university student Atif Baloch, who saw women and children being dragged away from the scene by rescuers.Panic also spread among residents searching for family members who were being treated at the hospital.
The militants have vowed to disrupt the upcoming presidential election, scheduled for September 28, in which Ghani is taking on his own Chief Executive, Abdullah Abdullah, and more than a dozen other candidates. But even as fighting rages, the Taliban have also continued to voice their belief that the US will eventually return to the table for more negotiations.
