Suicide attack on leader of anti-Taliban militia leaves over 50 killed, wounded in Kunar
Suicide attack on a leader of anti-Taliban militia has left over 50 people killed and wounded in Asadabad, the provincial capital of eastern Kunar province.
The suicide bomber reportedly detonated his explosives near the governor house this morning.
Eyewitnesses say the suicide bomber who was riding on a motorcycle targeted Haji Khan Jan who was leader of the uprising forces in Dangam District.
Officials at the Public Health Directorate of Kunar province says their record shows the incident has left 11 people killed and 40 others wounded.
However, the casualty toll can possibly rise since the victims have been taken to different hospitals by locals and provincial administration said a complete report would be released later.
Some of those critically wounded have been shifted to Nangarhar Regional Hospital which has better arrangements for emergency situations compared to the medical facilities in Kunar.
Yet, there is no claim of responsibility for the attack.http://www.khaama.com/breaking-news-over-50-killed-wounded-in-kunar-suicide-attack-4594
