Many Killed in Afghanistan Suicide Attack

Northern Afghanistan is becoming very well known for terrorist activity. In the city of Kunduz thirty seven were killed in a suicide attack at an army recruitment center on March 14, 2011. This is the third major assault in the area in less than a month, said the deputy governor. The Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid claimed that he was the one responsible for the attack, in which he was supporting the militant Islamist group. In this attack, many were wounded and killed. People around the area claimed they heard gunfire after the attack but the deputy of the Kunduz province claimed it was just a onetime suicide bomber. People that were killed and injured in this attack included new recruits, army soldiers and civilians. The Kunduz area has become one of the main bases for rebellions for the past few years now. Just one week prior to this act of terrorism, Kunduz police chief was killed by yet another suicide bomber while he was patrolling the city. In just the month of February alone, thirty three people were killed by another sort of suicide bomber in a government office while citizens were gathered to collect identity cards. Officials believe that violence is on the rise and it is just going to continue to worsen.

The area of Kunduz must be in a great deal of mourning at this point. So many terrorist attacks have been taking place in this province in such a short amount of time. Close to hundreds of innocent lives have been taken as well. I guess I will never understand why it is so important to these suicide bombers to not only take there own lives, but peoples lives around them that have nothing to do with the reason they are bombing the place to begin with. Think about all the children who get affected in these bombings. It is just not fair that all these lives are taken. It is bad enough when you go and bomb other countries, like what a lot of terrorist attacks are, but when you are bombing your own country, it just simply does not make any sense to me. Your country should want to stand together and be proud of the nation in which you live in.
