A suicide attacker detonated his body explosive vest in Chaharahi Qambar trying to target Marshal Fahim National Defense University, killing 6 including 4 security forces and 2 civilians, said Ministry of Interior Spokesman Nasrat Rahimi in a statement.
He said that 13 others including five security forces were wounded in the incident. He said that security forces discovered and neutralized a car full of explosive in the site as well.
