.- Three civilians were killed and 36 others were injured, six of them seriously, in a suicide attack on a sports field in the northern province of Faryab, an official source. The incident occurred when a suicide bomber detonated 16 years carrying the load in the middle of a game of "buskashi" (show in which you kill a goat and horse riders on the need to launch within a circle) in the desert Faizabad, told Efe the provincial governor's spokesman, Ahmad Jawid Bedar.
In the explosion, which took place on the 13:20 pm local (8:50 GMT), killing three spectators and injured 36 others, six of whom remain in critical condition, said the governor of Faryab Abdul Haq Shafaq. Bedar added that the show continued after the attack. Despite not being in the belt southeast of the country, a predominantly Pashtun and the Taliban itself, some provinces in the north have recently become increasingly unstable and the scene of numerous incidents of violence.
In the past week across Afghanistan, more than 100 civilians have died in attacks by insurgents or US-led forces. According to the organization's annual report Afghanistan Rights Monitor (ARM), two thousand 421 Afghan civilians were killed in the war in the Central Asian country, an increase of 3.8 percent over the previous year's figures.
