Three More

A suicide attack in Kunduz, Kabul has killed three private security guards, and wounded nine others. The bomb detonated this morning, just before dawn, in a suicide attack at the entrance of a building. After the attack, officials were engaged in a two-hour long fire fight with the flames. It follows a list of Taliban attacks that have occurred over the past few months, many targeted specifically at military and police institutions.

Three were also killed in June after a car bomb north of Kunduz, and another three policemen died after a suicide blast near a mosque in the same area. Not only in Kabul have attacks continued; in Lashkar Gar, eleven were killed in another suicide bomb yesterday. Government officials are often targets.

The list of civilian and military deaths at the hands of the Taliban, who take blame for many of the attacks, continues to grow.
