In Afghanistan, at least thirty-six people were killed on Monday and several injured when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives inside an army recruiting office in the northern province of Kunduz. Most of the victims were volunteers who had queued up near the centre to enroll with the national army. Spokesman for the province's governor, Mahboobullah Sayedi said the attack occurred in the centre of the provincial capital Kunduz. He said that several children were among those killed. Humayun Khamosh, head of Kunduz's provincial hospital said 34 injured were also brought to the hospital, some in critical condition. President Hamid Karzai called the attack a serious crime and an unforgivable act of terror against those who wanted to join in army ranks to protect their nation and territorial integrity. He said the enemy does not want to see an Afghan Force develop and grow capable of protecting its nation.The bombing came four days after a suicide bomber killed provincial police chief Abdul Rahman Sayedkhili and four others in the centre of the city. Thirty-two people were killed in a separate attack last month in the same city considered to be peaceful in past few months.
