WOMAN CAR BOMBER KILLS 12 IN AFGHANISTAN
Highway bombing reportedly carried out to avenge anti-Islam film
Kabul,Afghanistan : A woman suicide car bomber attacked a van in Kabul on Tuesday, killing 12 people, including eight South Africans, in an assault insurgents said was in revenge for the anti-Islam film made in America.
The bombing on a highway leading to Kabul international airport was the second suicide attack in the heavily fortified city in 10 days, reviving questions about stability as Nato accelerates a troop withdrawal and hands over to Afghan forces by the end of 2014.
An AFP photographer saw atleast six bodies lying among the wreckage of a gutted minivan, and another vehicle destroyed by flames still burning in the middle of the highway, with debris flung all around.
“At around 6:45am (02:15 GMT) a suicide bomber using a sedan blew herself up along the airport road in District 15. As a result, nine workers of a foreign company and three Afghan civilians are dead, and two police are wounded,” police said in a statement.
