“Suicide bombers kill over 90 in Afghan north”
By Bill RoggioNovember 6, 2007 9:54 AM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Taliban have pulled of the largest suicide attack in Afghanistan since the US overthrew the Taliban government in late 2001. A pair of suicide bombers targeted a parliamentary delegation as it visited a sugar factory in the northern province of Baghlan. Over 90 were reported killed, including five members of parliament, and over 50 have been wounded. A local doctor said the casualties may well rise.

A large number of children and civilians were killed in the strike. Among those killed were Sayed Mustafa Kazimi, the leader of the parliamentary delegation and member of the opposition. Kazimi was also the head of the national economy commission of Afghanistan’s lower house of parliament.

“All of the slain lawmakers were members of the parliament’s National Economic Committee, which is tasked with overseeing reconstruction efforts in the country,” RFE/RL reported. “A deputy agriculture minister and prominent woman parliamentarian Shukria Barakzai were among the wounded,” Reuters reported.”
