KABUL — A car bomb exploded yesterday in a farmers market in southern Afghanistan, killing eight civilians, as the Taliban warned it will use new techniques and draw on years of fighting experience to increase attacks this spring.
The police chief of Helmand province said the bombing in the Gereshk district also wounded 17 persons, including five children.
The Taliban frequently target Afghan and international security forces, but this year have increased their attacks against civilians as well. A statement Tuesday attributed to Taliban senior commander Mullah Bradar threatened more attacks this spring using new techniques, and also warned Afghans working with the government to quit their jobs or risk being targeted.
