Credit: Reuters/Stringer By Hamid Shalizi KABUL | Wed Jan 12, 2011 2:16am EST KABUL (Reuters) - A suicide bomber on a motorbike killed two people and wounded more than 35 near the Afghan parliament on Wednesday, officials said, the third bomb attack in the capital Kabul in less than a month. Violence is at its worst since U.S.-backed Afghan forces overthrew the hardline Islamist Taliban in 2001 after it refused to hand over al Qaeda militants, including Osama bin Laden, following the September 11 attacks on the United States. But attacks in the Afghan capital had been relatively rare in the past year, particularly since a "ring of steel" was erected in the city before a parliamentary election in September. The suicide bomber on Wednesday targeted a minibus carrying Afghan intelligence personnel in a western district of the city near to the country's parliament building, said Mohammad Zahir, head of Kabul's crime investigation unit. Zahir said one intelligence official and one civilian had been killed and up to 36 were wounded, most of them civilians. "Some of the wounded are in critical condition and the death toll may rise," Zahir told Reuters. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters by phone from an undisclosed location that the militant group had carried out the attack. Reuters television footage showed the wreckage of a bus that had been destroyed in the blast, as Afghan soldiers stood guard around the scene of the attack. Sayed Khalil, a nearby shopkeeper whose windows were shattered, said he had heard a loud explosion. "I heard a huge bang and hid under my chair. After a few minutes, I rushed out to see what had happened and I saw two motorbikes on fire and two wounded people near the site. When I arrived, they were alive and breathing," he said. "INHUMANE" The attack came as U.S. Vice President Joe Biden wrapped up a visit to Afghanistan, where he said on Wednesday the Taliban's momentum has been "largely arrested", echoing findings of a war review released by U.S. President Barack Obama last month. Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned Wednesday's bomb attack as "inhumane and un-Islamic". Violence has surged in Afghanistan with record casualties on all sides of the conflict and a recent string of attacks around the country has challenged the view that winter brings a lull. Military commanders now speak less of fighting "seasons" and say they aim to pressure militants throughout the year. Insurgents have also vowed to continue fighting, and foreign commanders acknowledge militant attacks are up on a year ago. 1 2 Next World Afghanistan United Nations We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
