At least 30 people have been killed and dozens more injured in four suicide attacks in the southern city of Kandahar, the Afghan president's half-brother said. Ahmed Wali Karzai, a member of the Kandahar provincial council, said a main target of the night attacks was a prison, but no prisoners escaped. In June 2008 a suicide bomber blew apart the Kandahar prison gates and a nearby checkpoint, freeing hundreds of prisoners, many of them suspected insurgents. Mr Karzai, the half-brother of President Hamid Karzai, said a second explosion occurred close to the police headquarters, and casualties were reported at a wedding hall nearby. Police officer Mohammad Nahim said at least four policemen were killed. |
