Taliban Murder 16 Afghans Including Two Children
In the suicide bombing earlier Friday in western Afghanistan, a bomber on a motorcycle blew himself up about 55 yards (50 meters) from the Farah provincial governor's compound in a crowded square, said Gov. Rohul Amin. The dead included two children and a police officer, he said.Since so many children were killed and wounded expect a release on the Taliban's Jihadtube channel blaming Da Joooos in 5, 4, 3, 2........Afghan police shouted "Stop! Stop!" at the motorcyclist before he detonated the explosives, provincial police chief Gen. Mohammad Faqir Askar said. It was unclear what the bomber was targeting.
Dr. Shir Agh Asas at the hospital in Farah city said several children also were among the wounded.
"These days Taliban are causing high casualties because the foreign forces and Afghan forces have been conducting operations against the insurgency in the region," Askar said.
