Two suicide bombers struck a meeting of community leaders in a southern Afghan town near the border with Pakistan on Sunday, killing at least four people and wounding 15, police said.
One gunman on foot opened fire on guards at the entrance of the council building in Spin Boldak, forced his way inside and detonated himself, while a second attacker rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the outside walls. ‘Four people were killed and 15 wounded in the attack,’ Gorzang Afridi, spokesman for the police chief of Kandahar province said. The building partially collapsed, with some of the injured still being rescued from the rubble and a search operation underway to check for any buried bodies, officials said.
