Afghanistan: Heavy Security After Bomb Attack
A heavy security clampdown was enforced, Monday, August 30, 2004, in the Afghan capital, Kabul, a day after the bombing of a US firm that killed seven people and injured 28 others. Sunday’s attack raised new fears about security just weeks before elections. Responsibility for the attack on security contractor DynCorp was claimed by a spokesman linked to the former Taliban regime and Al-Qaeda. Analysts said more attacks could be expected in the run-up to October 9 polls.
