    KABUL – Two insurgents wearing suicide improvised explosive device vests were killed in an explosion in Farah city yesterday.

    According to reports, the two insurgents attempted to scale the perimeter wall of the governor’s compound in Farah when at least one of the suicide vests detonated. The blast damaged part of the perimeter wall and blew out windows inside the compound and at a nearby school.

    “Fortunately this insurgent attempt to attack a government facility ended in failure,” said U.S. Air Force Col. James Dawkins, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. “Afghan and coalition forces will not allow the insurgents to hinder the development of governance in Afghanistan.”
