KABUL, 30 May 2021, (TON): 3 teachers have died and 15 more people have been injured after a roadside bomb hit a bus carrying university staff in northern Afghanistan.
Al-Biruni university’s professors and staff were travelling through Charikar, the capital of Parwan province, about 70km north of the capital Kabul. Taliban have condemned terror attack and denied any role in the attack. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
Violence in Afghanistan has increased in recent weeks as the United States and NATO prepare to withdraw all troops.
The deadline for the withdrawal is 11 September - 20 years to the day since the attack on the World Trade Center in New York.
“Some of the wounded teachers are in a critical condition. The university's chancellor was also reportedly injured in the attack” a spokesman for the Ministry of Higher Education said.
