TEHRAN, October 19 - The U.N. Security Council has condemned several recent attacks in Afghanistan ahead of Saturday's parliamentary elections.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - On Thursday, an elite guard attacked a delegation leaving a high-level meeting on security plans for the elections. The gunman killed the powerful Kandahar police chief and at least one other senior Afghan official but missed the top U.S. commander in the country, Gen. Scott Miller. The Taliban claimed the attack and said Miller was the target.
The Security Council's statement issued late Thursday from U.N. headquarters said the members underscored the importance of security for elections and that violence or threats intended to disrupt the elections were unacceptable.
