Afghanistan
Suicide Bombing has become a principle weapon of terrorists around the world and the number of bombings and people killed and maimed, has become too numerous for CANASB resources to follow. Events are added as resources allow.
Incidents continue to increase with Afghani citizens as victims. Hundreds of men, women and children, including members of parliament, were killed or injured by suicide bombers in the first week of November 2007 in the largest and deadliest suicide bombing attacks so far.Taliban insurgents have set off more than 100 suicide blasts in 2007, a record pace. The suicide attacks, however, are turning Afghans against Taliban.
Death of "the Lion of the Panjshir", September 9, 2001: Two suicide bombers fatally wounded Ahmed Shah Massoud, a leader of Afghanistan’s Northern Alliance, which had opposed both the Soviet occupation and the post-Soviet Taliban government. The bombers posed as journalists and were apparently linked to al-Qaida.
