Afghanistan: Bombs Kill at Least 9 at Gated Community Near Kandahar
|
Version 0 of 1. Two bombs hidden in a motorcycle and a car exploded inside a gated community linked to the family of President Hamid Karzai on Friday evening, killing at least 9 people and wounding more than 70 near the southern city of Kandahar, an official said. The blasts happened inside Aino Mina, a housing complex on the northern outskirts of the city that was developed in part by Mahmood Karzai, the president’s younger brother. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. A Kandahar government spokesman said that an investigation was under way into how the explosives-laden vehicles slipped past the heavy security. |
