An explosion rocked an Internet cafe in the Afghan capital Saturday, killing
two Afghans, police said. Officials were investigating whether the blast was
caused by a suicide attacker.
Five people were injured in the explosion at the Park Net Cafe in Kabul's
upscale Shahr-e-Naw district, a hangout also popular with foreigners, said city
police chief Gen. Akram Khakrezwal, adding that all the victims were Afghans.
Afghan police secure a blast site in Kabul,
Afghanistan May 7, 2005. A bomb at an Internet cafe in the Afghan capital
of Kabul killed two Afghans and wounded five on Saturday, police said.
[Reuters] | "It was an explosion, but we still
don't know if it was a suicide attack," Khakrezwal said, declining to elaborate.
Nick Downie, head of the Afghan NGO Security Organization, which advises
relief groups and sent representatives to the scene, said bloody chest injuries
to one dead man suggested a suicide attack.
Khakrezwal said police had detained a guard, the owner of the cafe and
another manager for questioning.
Afghanistan has seen several deadly suicide attacks since the fall of the
Taliban in 2001. The most recent was an attack by a man laden with hand grenades
who killed an American woman and an Afghan girl in a Kabul street last
October.
