Mayor Ghulam Haider Hamidi
A suicide bomber killed the mayor of Afghanistan‘s Kandahar city on Wednesday July 27th, two weeks after the assassination of Afghan President Hamid Karzai‘s brother in the same city.
The death of Mayor Ghulam Haidar Hamidi, a U.S. citizen, is the latest in a string of assassinations of Karzai’s allies.
While it is unclear if all were the work of insurgents, the killings have stoked instability as foreign troops begin withdrawing ahead of Afghan forces taking full security control by the end of 2014.
Kandahar officials said 65-year-old Hamidi was killed and another person was wounded after a suicide bomber detonated his explosives in a corridor near Hamidi’s office.
Kandahar province is the Taliban‘s birthplace and a focus of recent efforts by a surge of U.S. troops to turn the tide against the insurgency in the decade-long war.
The Taliban spokesman initially said it was too early to tell what had happened but later claimed responsibility for killing Hamidi.
A United Nations report said more than half of all targeted killings in Afghanistan between April and June were in Kandahar. (REUTERS)
