\nAYBAK (SW) – Samangan's deputy governor, Sifatullah Samangani, said the insurgents' attack on the NDS office here ended after six hours of fighting with security forces, with two attackers killed.<\/p>\n

According to him, 12 employees of the NDS, including two women, were killed and 63 others, most of them civilians, were injured in the attack.<\/p>\n

The deputy governor of Samangan said that the health condition of most of the injured was satisfactory.<\/p>\n

The attack took place before noon today in the provincial capital, Aybak.<\/p>\n

Samangani said the Taliban had first detonated a bomb-laden truck at the entrance gate of the provincial office of the NDS, and then two assailants entered the building and clashed with security forces.<\/p>\n

Abdul Khalil Mossadeq, head of health department in Samangan province, said more than 50 people, mostly civilians, have been taken to hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

A number of locals said they have suffered heavy losses as the blast was so powerful that it shook the entire city.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan urged the warring parties must take all feasible precautions to prevent civilian harm.<\/p>\n

"Initial reports indicate Taliban-claimed car bomb attack on NDS in #Samangan #Afghanistan injured dozens of civilians. UNAMA urges all parties to comply with international humanitarian law and protect civilians", it tweeted.<\/p>\n
