Suicide bombers kill 22 in quiet Afghan province
None
Six suicide bombers attacked a governor's security meeting in one of Afghanistan's most secure provinces, killing 22 people and driving home the point that the Taliban is able to strike at will virtually anywhere in the country.
The governor of Parwan, a relatively peaceful eastern province just 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Kabul, survived Sunday's attack. He said he picked up an assault rifle and shot at least one of the attackers dead from the waiting room of his office.
Two other insurgents detonated their vests, causing most of the deaths and burning part of the governor's offices (AP).
