At least ten people are reported to have been
killed and several others wounded in a suicide attack in northern Faryab
province of Afghanistan, officials have said.
Dr Naqibullah Fayeq, a prominent member of
parliament, said the blast happened in Alamar district’s main market.
The politician said dozens of civilians had been
wounded after a suicide bomber using a motorcycle blew his explosives up in the
centre of the market.
Al Jazeera’s Jennifer Glasse reporting from the
Afghan capital, Kabul said “the apparent target of this suicide attack was
Afghan security forces but we understand the hospital is full of injured
civilians.”
Other politicians have put the death toll
higher. No one has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
