Suicide bomb kills 80 at dog fight

4 hours ago

A suicide bombing at an outdoor dog fighting competition killed 80 people and wounded scores more in the deadliest terror attack in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.

A prominent militia commander who stood up against the Taliban was killed in the attack and officials said he may have been the target.

Several hundred people - including Afghan militia leaders - had gathered to watch the event in the southern city of Kandahar. Witnesses reported gunfire from bodyguards after the blast; it was not immediately clear how many of the casualties might have been caused by bullets.

Kandahar Governor Asadullah Khalid said 80 people died in the attack. Abdullah Fahim, a Health Ministry spokesman, said 70 were wounded.

Mr Khalid blamed the attack on "the enemy of Afghanistan" - which typically means the Taliban.
