A suicide car bombing near an eastern Afghanistan military base has left 34 dead, including the bomber, a government official said yesterday.
The bomber detonated an explosives-laden car on Sunday at a military roadblock near Camp Chapman, formerly used by the CIA and currently used by foreign and Afghan troops, in the eastern province of Khost.
The blast took place as people were crossing a security checkpoint to go home to break their fast during Islam’s holy month of Ramadan.
“Twenty-seven civilians and six members of the security forces were killed in the bomb blast,” said Mobariz Zadran, the provincial governor’s spokesman.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said three women and 12 children were among those killed.
Another 23 people, including security forces, were wounded in the blast, Zadran said.
Yesterday evening two explosions were heard in central Kabul early, police said, wounding a taxi driver according to a witness.
