Afghan suicide attack leaves 19 dead

KABUL, Afghanistan - A gun and suicide attack on an Afghan governor's compound killed 19 people and wounded nearly 40 others on Sunday in the latest Taliban assault raising fears about security just outside the capital Kabul.

Abdul Basir Salangi, the governor of Parwan province, told a local television channel while gunbattles were under way that six suicide bombers had stormed the main provincial administration.

"I'm inside," Salangi told Tolo News, referring to the compound that houses his office and other administrators in the provincial capital of Charikar, about 50 kilometers north of Kabul.
