Place of suicide bomber attack-Kunduz

Thirty seven were killed in a suicide attack at an army recruitment centre in Northern Afghanistan on March 14, 2011. In less than a month, this was considered the third major assault in that area, the deputy governor said. Zabihullah Mujahid (Taliban spokesman) declared that he was responsible for the attack supporting the militant Islamist group.
According to the officials many were wounded. After the attack, Reuters said that they heard gunfire in the area but Hamdullah Danishi, the deputy governor of Kunduz province, denied it. He said that the causalities were due to a single suicide bomber. Danishi told Reuters "The death toll includes new recruits, army soldiers and civilians.” Thirty three bodies were brought in the Kunduz provincial hospital as specified by a doctor. Kunduz area has become a main base for rebellions for the past years.
