Two worshippers killed, 10 wounded in shooting inside Afghan mosque

Kabul - A group of unknown militants opened fire inside a mosque in central Afghanistan as prayers were being held, killing two men and wounding 10, a local official said Wednesday. A local tribal chief who supported the central government was among the wounded while a schoolteacher was among the dead, said Enayat Mangal, district administrative chief. He said he could not provide any information on the motive for Tuesday night's attack in Maidan Wardak province. Mangal, however, said he held 'enemies of Afghanistan' responsible for the attack in the Dashte Toop area of the Sayed Abad district, a term often used by Afghan officials to describe Taliban fighters. The Taliban in the past have killed dozens of tribal chieftains and clergymen after accusing them of supporting the US-backed Afghan government or helping foreign forces in the country. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
