Suicide bombers attacked a bank in a provincial capital in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing at least 10 people, officials said

The last attacker’s suicide vest did not explode, and he was shot dead.Given the number of staff members and customers present on the second floor, the police said that the number of dead would have been far higher had the attackers succeeded in getting there.

A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, said that the group claimed responsibility for the attack and that the targets were government officials who were at the bank collecting their wages.

The Taliban attack on this local bank has to do with religious values because they are willing to go to extreme measures,much like suicide bombings, as they are considered extremists. One question I have is why would a spokesman for the Taliban admit to the attack? -
