Deadly suicide bomb attack at Afghan airport

Deadly suicide car bomb blast at Jalalabad airport in Eastern Afghanistan left nine dead and injured more than 10 people around. The resources said that this blast was a reaction against burning Quran
a week ago at a US air base. Taliban took the responsibility of this blast and told media that it was revenge from the soldiers who burned the Holy Quran.

Though US President Barack Obama apologized for the burning of Quran and told officially that it was unintentionally, US would take action against those who were responsible for this act, but the burning fired up extreme violence among people across the country.

The airport was in use of both civilians and military forces however there were no reports of international forces being among the casualties in Jalalabad. There were a number of cars reported destroyed at the gate. 

Zabiullah Mujahid, Taliban spokesperson told in his email to media resources that the blast was in reaction against the burning of their Holy Book. Persident Hamid Karzai appealed for calm the anger. In his television speech on Sunday, Mr Hamid Karzai condemned the burning of Quran but also added that the message has delivered to those who were responsible for the incident and now we must calm our feelings down and be peaceful.
