A SUICIDE bomber on a motorcycle detonated his explosives in a crowded area in southwest Afghanistan yesterday, killing 17 people, including a senior police official, a provincial governor said.
Police said the target of the attack in the provincial capital Farah City was the police official, who was killed along with two of his bodyguards.
Farah Governor Rohul Amin said the death toll in the blast had risen to 17. Earlier, the head of the city's main hospital, said 15 people had died. Amin said 29 people were wounded in the attack.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf denied his group had carried out the Farah raid.
"Whenever there are civilian casualties, the Taliban deny responsibility," Amin said. "This attack was definitely carried out by the Taliban."
The latest attack comes a day after President Hamid Karzai was sworn in for his second five-year term.
