AFGHAN MP ESCAPES ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT IN KABUL
Baku, 21 November (AzerTAc). Afghan police say a member of parliament escaped an assassination attempt Friday night near Kabul. Five bodyguards were killed. Earlier in the day, a suicide bomber killed at least 16 people in southwestern Afghanistan, while two roadside bombs killed 4 others in eastern Afghanistan.
An Afghan district police chief tells that a remote-controlled bomb targeted the convoy of Abdul Rab Rasoul Sayyaf as it moved along roads outside the capital.
Sayyaf is an influential member of parliament from Kabul province and a former warlord. This was not the first attempt on his life. Sayyat has survived at least one other similar attack.
