20 die in a bomb explosion targeting Sikh and Hindu minority in eastern Afghanistan

A suicide bomber targeted a convoy of Sikhs and Hindus on their way to meet Afghanistan's president in the eastern city of Jalalabad today, killing at least 20 people.
Inamullah Miakhail, spokesman for the provincial hospital in Nangarhar, said that 17 out of 20 dead in the attack are from the minority Sikh and Hindu community.
Miakhail added that at least ten of the 20 wounded were also from the same minority community and are undergoing treatment at a Jalalabad hospital.
Narendr Singh, one of the wounded Sikh from Sunday's attack, told The Associated Press by phone from his hospital bed in Jalalabad that the attack targeted their convoy. He cried on the phone worrying what had happened to his father, Avtar Singh Khalsa, who was also in the convoy.
