[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 188854, member: 35"] [B]Afghan Attack Targets Indian Mission[/B] Video and story [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23558930[/url] Suicide bombers have targeted the Indian consulate in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad, killing at least nine civilians. Three bombers drove up in a car before detonating their explosives, police said. Gunfire was heard for an hour after the blast which took place at 10:00 local time (06:30 GMT). Most of the victims were from a nearby mosque. Indian officials say none of their citizens were hurt. At least 23 people, among them children, were injured in the Jalalabad attack, according to the police. This is the third attack on an Indian mission in Afghanistan in the past five years. In 2008 and 2009 the Indian embassy in Kabul was bombed. Indian diplomats were among the dozens of casualties. At the time the blame for those attacks was laid squarely at the feet of Pakistan-backed groups. Although the Taliban have denied responsibility for the Jalalabad suicide bombing, suspicion about a Pakistani connection persists. India has growing business and security interests in Afghanistan which are likely to make its citizens more vulnerable. Indian businesses are involved in power, mining and construction projects in Afghanistan along with a commitment by the Indian government to train Afghan security forces at Indian military colleges. India's closer ties with Afghanistan have rubbed salt in the wound of its long time, poorer rival Pakistan which has traditionally worried about being "encircled" by Indian interests. It's been blamed for giving a "safe haven" to Afghan militants who mount attacks from across the border. Later this month the Afghan President Hamid Karzai is expected to visit Pakistan, in an attempt to deepen ties with the country's newly elected Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, who has pledged to forge closer business links with his Indian neighbour. Deputy police chief of Nangarhar province Masum Khan Hashimi said the blast, close to a mosque, had been a failed attempt to attack the Indian consulate. He said two of the attackers wearing vests laden with explosives got out of the car and were immediately fired upon by police. The remaining occupant of the car then blew it up, he told Reuters news agency. A large crater was visible in the road after the explosion, which heavily damaged houses and local shops. It is not clear who was behind the attack. Jalalabad has frequently been the target of militant attacks, including a bomb blast at the airport last year. In May, offices of the International Committee of the Red Cross were hit, killing an Afghan guard, and in March several police died in a suicide attack on a police station in the city. However, a Taliban spokesman denied responsibility for Saturday's attack. "Our fighters have not carried out any attack in Jalalabad," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told AFP news agency. Indian buildings in Afghanistan have been targeted before. A wounded man is carried from the aftermath of a suicide bomb attack in Jalalabad, 3 August 2013 Most of the casualties from the suicide attack were civilians In 2008 and 2009, the Indian embassy in Kabul was attacked twice with dozens of people killed. The attack came after officials on Friday reported fierce fighting between security forces and militants in the Shirzad district of Nangarhar province. They said 76 Taliban members and 22 police were killed in a series of clashes. [/QUOTE]
