KABUL - At least seven people were killed and 55 wounded after a Taliban suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden car at a police headquarters in northern Afghanistan on Sunday, with officials saying clashes between gunmen and security forces continued.
“At least seven civilians and security officials have been killed. We have also received bodies of women and children,” said Abdul Aleem Ghafari, deputy provincial health director in Pul-e-Khumri. Nasrat Rahimi, a spokesman at the Interior Ministry in Kabul, said that several Taliban fighters had managed to penetrate the police headquarters.
The hardline Islamists group holds sway over more territory than at any point since its ousting by U.S.-led troops after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States in 2001. “All sides agreeing to reduce violence is a necessary step toward achieving that outcome and the morally responsible choice to make. We stand ready,” Khalilzad wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
