Death toll of suicide attack in Afghanistan targeting NATO supply parking lot rises

2009-06-13 (Saturday), People's Daily Online
Casualties of suicide car blast in Helmand province south of Afghanistan rose to eight and those sustained injuries were over 20.

"In the suicide car bomb rocked Gereshk Friday night so far eight death has been confirmed and 21 others got wounded," governor of Gereshk district Abdul Ahad told Xinhua.

All the victims are civilians and ordinary drivers, he added.

A Taliban fighter Mohammad Aziz, according to the outfit spokesman Qari Yusuf Ahmadi, blew himself up to the parking lot of trucks hired by NATO killing 33 truckers and their helpers.

Ahmadi also claimed that 11 trucks had been destroyed in the attack.

Earlier, spokesman of Helmand's provincial administration Daud Ahmadi in talks with media confirmed 10 vehicles including six tankers were destroyed in the deadly attack.

The militia has vowed to intensify activities against interests of government and international troops this year in Afghanistan, mostly in the shapes of suicide and roadside bombing.
