2011 Logar province bombing
Suicide car bombing in Afghanistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 25 June 2011 a suicide car bombing occurred in Azra District, Logar Province, Afghanistan, targeting Akbar Khail hospital, a 10-bed facility near the Pakistani border, killing at least 43 people, including children, pregnant women, and medical staff.[1][2][3] The suicide bomber drove a sport utility vehicle through the front gate of the facility, striking a guard, before detonating his explosives. The blast destroyed the one-story hospital and buried people under the rubble. The Taliban denied responsibility for the attack, claiming the perpetrator to be "someone with an agenda," possibly the Haqqani network.[4]
