At least 13 people, among them the two perpetrators, were killed and scores of others were injured Thursday in a Taliban suicide attack in Afghanistan's relatively peaceful province of Panjsher, dpa reported. "A suicide attack occurred at the entrance gate of Panjsher province. 11 people were killed, including civilians, and 30 others were injured," Aziz ur Rahman, the provincial governor, told dpa, adding that the suicide bombers had used "a car full of explosives." The Taliban took responsibility for the attack. "The incident occurred around 5:15 PM (1245 GMT). There were two suicide bombers in two separate explosives-laden cars," Rahman said. "The police identified both the attackers before they could detonate their explosives. But unfortunately one bomber detonated before the police shot him. The second one was shot down by police." Rahman said four police, including one intelligence officer, and seven civilians, who were working there in the area, were killed in the incident. The injured people were taken to the Italian Emergency Hospital, he said. -- SPA 23:54 LOCAL TIME 20:54 GMT تغريد
